[EzShare SDcard wifi] Script to autodownload

[Crimson Nape]

Are you on a 192.168.4.x network? It is acting like a server, so try setting your IP to 192.168.4.4 (or something) and look for a Wi-Fi access point.  It's possible that it's not broadcasting its SSID, too. I believe it is a WPA/WPA2.

I'm aware the card uses 192.168.4.1 as it's ip which does not conflict with my local lan.   You have to select the "ez share" ssid before entering the password...it's not working although the card is mounted on the SAME machine that has wifi.   You won't have that network till after it's connected.   I verified the 2nd card also doesn't show.  I'm aware it's using 2.4ghz and that's not blocked....I have several phones and multiple linux pc's/laptops and none of them show the SSID....after reviewing youtube vids for the white card it should be appearing so stuck at the moment.

To anyone who has the ez share wifi adapter working...what size microsd are you using?

To see if I could provide any insight to you, I played with my ez-share card. I tried inserting it into the same computer as I was reading it wirelessly, as well as using another computer to read it too. Other than the download script didn't want to run on the computer that the card was in, I had no problem.

The ez-share SSID broadcast was picked up on all my Wi-Fi devices. Have you been able to see its SSID or connect to the card previously?

One thing that did not work was plugging the USB SD reader into a USB power adapter. I was thinking that all it needed was power to broadcast, but evidently not.

I purchased 2 from aliexpress and neither show up but I was using a sdcard reader on a usb dock...I tried it in the computer directly and it also didn't show up..it might use a usb hookup internally but I also tried it in the resmed machine with a 64gb card and it still didn't provide the wifi.  That's why I asked about the size of the cards.   I have some friends who ordered the same item after me and will have to wait to see how theirs handles before deciding to flag it on aliexpress.  Right now it's just a $20 card reader.

ResMed 10s have a maximum size of 32GB formatted as FAT32
ResMed 11s can use 64GB formatted as FAT32.

I'm not sure what the maximum Air11 size is, can recall someone posted success with 128GB but not sure.

[Crimson Nape]

Dog Slobber - You are correct about the size. The AS11 has been successfully tested with a 128 GB. The size should not be an issue for the Wi-Fi to work, though.

I've tested SD cards as large as 256GB in my S10 and they work. Let the machine format it when you first insert it, or manually format it from the command line to FAT32. The actual limit for FAT32 filesystems is 2TB. The GUI format tools in Windows and Mac have been known to cause issues though.

I've been using a 64GB FlashAir card in my S10 for over 2 years now (formatted as FAT32). Never had an issue.

The common recommendation is to use 2GB to 32GB because as they come pre-formatted as FAT32 and work out of the package. No having to tinker with formatting.

Well sadly neither of the cards I received show up as wifi hotspot's...so I attempted a dispute to return for refund and was denied...now I need to send them a detailed video showing the product not working.   Joy.

How do I make this work. I have tried both versions of the script on my 2012 MacBook Pro. Bjorne’ s script says it downloaded 1 file but nothing is in the folder. The revised Mac version says I don’t have permission. 

Can someone explain to me why I can’t get this to work?

Thanks

I would suggest that you set all read, write, and execute permissions for everyone. Also, set your username as the file owner. Mac has 2 ways of setting permissions and ownership, one through your GUI and the other is using a CLI.
