its also a bit of a pain when the kano help disappears on the web as its a was an original kano computer kit
has anyone experienced this?
when i put the kano os onto the microsd and then put it in and power it
why does the it:
A. have a problem with booting
B. no output is happening nor input as its difficult to see
C. both the red and green light are on indicating its working yet its not

jackpotjake8080

and both the and green light being off is not saying its working at all. thats something wrong with your pi or power supply
jackpotjake8080
i meant on 🤣
k9t33n
oh, is it solid on even after a couple minutes?
jackpotjake8080
yep
oops.se
A. A bad SD card or the SD card socket
B. That is because of C.
C. A steady red LED indicate that you have power on and a flickering green LED is indicating activity.
So try another SD card and clean the gold fingers on the SD card with isopropanol to get rid of dirt and grease.
ive done the imager way using that software yet nothing happened
oops.se
If your SD card is bad, then thats fully normal.
k9t33n
Yes
jackpotjake8080

Just a heads up, a good one from SanDisk and atleest 32 GB or higher is a safe bet
jackpotjake8080
ah mines 8gb
jackpotjake8080
is that why its not been working?
jackpotjake8080
omfg
jackpotjake8080
thats why
jackpotjake8080
it was not strong enough
oops.se
The minimum for SD card size is 4GB for "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" and 8GB for "full"
jackpotjake8080
ah fair
jackpotjake8080
icl the last time i used a pi was my mates one when we was hacking into my old school
jackpotjake8080
he had the newer one
oops.se
<@1071178789939331253> Is just advising from a future perspective.

No 8GB is fine but 32GB is just gonna give you more worth
k9t33n
Yes, youll probably thank me because of it in the future. My pi 4 was limited by space once it was horrible, gave me a little claustrophobia 😂. Couldn't download anything or even update.
