RPI Zero W using USB ethernet via my PC
February 12, 2024, 17:13
Hello, My RPI Zero W I had setup by adding a new line in config.txt and adding the stuff I needed to and also in cmdline.txt and created a file just called ssh, no extensions. I plugged my RPI into my pc via a micro usb cable to connect and I used the data port. My PC shows the ethernet and it connecting but whenever I do ping raspberrypi.local or try ssh to it, it says it doesn't recognise it, I'm using a 64gb micro sd card formatted for FAT32, the green light is showing on the RPI but I'm not sure what to do. Thank you
When I try wireless it won't let me connect, I try go into my router page and it doesn't show it as connected and I don't have a mini HDMI.
which software did u use to flash pi zero
The raspberry pi imager
do you have a display?
No
I don't have a Mini HDMI to hdmi.
ok
the only thing I can think of is your firewall
I tried connecting it to my hotspot on my phone and still shows 0 devices connected
what is the green light like?
Buy an HDMI mini adapter or cable and connect a display.
yes, perfect solution
flashes for about 5 secs then is stable
good
did u get a prompt like this ?
if u get this go to edit settings
and u will see this and this will set up the ssh correctly
yeah i did all that
like 10 times
u using 5ghz or 2.4 ?
2.4
