Dear Volumio Specialists,

I just bough a raspberry pi b+ and execute the instructions of get started page (volumio.org/get-started), but nothing happens.

Steps:

1 - The raspberry pi b+ is wired connected to the router (linksys WRT54G2).

2 - I erase a sd card (kingston 4g) with sdformatter (“FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT” option to “ON” in the “Options” menu).

3 - Then, I write the volumio image with the Win32DiskImager.exe on the sd card.

4 - Plug the sd card on Raspberry pi b+.

5 - Plug the micro usb / AC.

The raspberry pi is turned on, but I cant find the device on the network.

what im missing?

Thanks in advance,

what power supply are you using?

you searched the device with the help of your router webpage?

if yes, can you connect a monitor to you pi? There should be a Volumio Logo displayed after the pi booted.
if no, try to find the ip with the help of your router´s webpage.
