ratos.local showing blank page

I just installed ratOS 1.2.4, did the configuration and wifi connection, now i'm getting a blank page on the ratos.local browser page. As such I can't install the controller board firmware.

Oh. apparently it just doesn't work on my desktop/laptop. Okay.

I would also use the IP address instead of ratos.local - it just works better

Didn't work when I tried that after. Still blank page.

I even plugged in directly with an ethernet cable. Still blank.

And you tried different web browsers?

Yup. Chrome, ff, edge Far as I can tell I followed the instructions verbatim and I can't seem to get the firmware to flash either. It stays as a .bin file in the SD card.

One problem at a time. Are you connected via the ratos hotspot or your router?

I got through there and was able to get the pi connected to the wifi. RatOS hotspot disappeared after that.

Ok, so if you were able to connect via the hotspot and it wasn't blank in your browser it sounds like your router is blocking it or doing something funny

And what's the IP address of your pi?

^that's the pi, sorry
blacksmithforlife
That's only valid when it is hosting the hotspot You need to look in your router to find the current pi IP address
