Can't set up Wifi

[K1TSR]

Hello all. Just received the FlightAware Pro stick. I set up the SD card using the instructions, but when I insert back into the PC, it doesn’t mount to allow me to edit the config file. PiAware - build your own ADS-B ground station for integration with FlightAware - FlightAware

I know the SD is imaged correctly because PiAware loads and I can see flights.

Was able to do it through the RPi command line. Not sure why the SD doesn’t show on the PC like the instructions say. I’m up and running.

Not sure why the SD doesn’t show on the PC

If by PC you mean Windows PC, then your microSD card is still recognized by Windows at the hardware level, but Windows Explorer cannot see it most likely because the Raspberry Pi Imager has changed the partition table so that it no longer has a Windows drive letter assigned.

FIX: Use Windows Disk Management to Assign a Drive Letter

If Windows stripped the drive letter after writing the image, you can manually assign a new one:

STEP 1 of 6: Press Win + x keys, and in pop=up menu click “Disk Management”

STEP 2 of 6: In the “Disk Management” window opened, scroll down and locate your microSD card by its capacity (e.g., 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB). Be careful NOT to select your main system drive.

STEP 3 of 6: Right-click the partition on the microSD card. This will open a popup. On pop-up choose “Change Drive Letter and Paths”…

STEP 4 of 6: On the popup, click Add. This will opn another popup

STEP 5 of 6: On this new popup, pick a letter (like E: or F:), and click OK.

STEP 6 of 6: Check main menue of “Disk Management”. The microSD card will now show a Drive Letter assigned to it.
