Success ! Yay !
It was the 'resizing' part of the SD Card format that I must have skipped in error.
It still took me a couple of goes.....but I got there eventually.
Thanks to everyone for your help......Brilliant !
And thanks JC for your offer too.
I'm now seeing my Pilotaware on my wifi.......so the next step is licensing and config.
That'll be fun - for later. 😉
All the Best.

Haha. Guys.....go easy on me. 😉
I'll admit to looking at the wrong lights.....and I am suitably embarrassed.
Tapping the card in with a hammer? Omg! No - not me.
Dave......'resizing' the card is ringing alarm bells for me.....I'll look at that again.
Richard - to the root....yes.
Thx
Pete.

Card the right way round? Yes. And yes - I deserved that! 😊
And yes....I used the paw formatter.
I might try it again though......although this will be the 3rd time. (I did it twice yesterday - as part of my troubleshooting).

Hi guys.....first of all I have to own up to a stupid mistake.....I was looking at the lights on the Ethernet socket. DOH!
With the RPI out of the case this morning......yes - I can see the two lights on the RPI circuit board.
They are both steady though.....so I guess that means no data upload from the SD card?
(Latest software downloaded from the website yesterday....20160511).
And still no signal on the HDMI......I guess that's to be expected with no flashing green light.
What next chaps?
Thanks for the support btw.
I'm now suspecting the SD card.....or I haven't installed the software on it correctly.....?

Hi Lee.
Not saying that directly.......I'm just saying that I can't get either RPI to work.....and that's testing with the bridge installed on each one for testing.
Having slept on it.....I'm thinking that suspecting the bridge is a mistake.
And checking the power supplies as you've suggested is a better course of action.
It's just that I tried 2 different power supplies......so assumed power was good.
I'm now planning to test by strip back to just:- RPI, power and HDMI.
I guess I should leave the micro SD card in?
Can you tell me what I should expect to see?
Should it be red/green lights on the Ethernet socket, and data on the screen (via HDMI) ?
Thx
Pete.

As part of my troubleshooting.......I've tried two different power supplies.
I then fitted the new bridge to my previous RPI (the b+ model)......which had been working with the home-soldered ARF kit that I part exchanged for the new bridge version.
Still nothing.
The only common part to both set-ups now.....is the new bridge. It's hard to believe it's the culprit, but at this stage, that's where logic is pointing me to.
Yes - I have all USB devices plugged in......in the recommended locations.
I will try the 'strip back' to RPI, power and HDMI. Thank you both for your suggestions.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Just for background info.....this was originally a working version from the beta trial......and was working on the 'Frisian' trip where I met Lee at The Sywell breakfast meeting.
I upgraded to the new bridge as generally recommended.
And I upgraded the RPI to the 2B model to utilise the voice alert facility.
I was already in too deep to take the easier route of buying a ready built classic.

I've just assembled a new bridge onto a new raspberry pi2B.....all in to a nice new case too.
I've also installed the latest software on the memory card.....and fitted that into the slot.
All ready for initial power-up......exciting!
Except.....nothing happens.
Nothing at all.
No lights.
I connected the hdmi lead to a tv.......and it shows 'no signal'.
I'm stuck now.
Any ideas anyone?
Pete.
