Setting up my raspberry pi3

[Colin2040]

Having a few issues which are hopefully easily resolved.
Have downloaded image writer and set up software on sd card.
Installed sd card and then tried to link to Volumio/ local which I don’t seem to be able to connect to. Was using chrome as browser ,tried firefox and others all get same response.
So picked up iPad and got app thinking that may help.
When I open app it aks for IP address which I have provided but then asks for port .The unit has 4 usb connectors so have they port numbers?

Sorry this is possibly a simple issue but to a technophobe it’s not .

Guidance would be appreciated.

Have you connected your Pi to your router?

[Colin2040]

No is the simple answer

[Stratmangler]

That's why your Pi can't be found.
Connect a patch lead between the Pi and router, and then try typing in the address.

I shall give it a try

Just to clarify I attach the raspberry pi3 to the router I assume that using my iPad I can connect wirelessly to do the rest? Sorry but I like to be clear,

Thanks

Yes. Once your Pi is on your local network, the Volumio app can talk to it (provided your iPad is on the same local network).

No, the port number it is talking about is the port of the ip address. a full internet address is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:<port number>. For example web traffic is commonly on port 80. Other protocols/communications may be on one of the many other port addresses.

I thought the Volumio app would search the local network automatically and didn't need you to tell it the address. Mine does on Android.

You need to plug you Pi into your network so the app can find it. Either use a cable, or the initially connect with the wifi hotspot as someone else suggested, then switch it over to your local network wifi.
