Monitoring data wirelessly

[MCS2014]

See my above post. I recently had a wifi access point device installed to get a better cell phone signal. I think the IP got changed from what it was before and this is why I'm getting the above error messages. How do I fix this?

Change the Using DHCP to Static. Enter the address of 192.168.0.250 for the IPv4 Address.

The last screenshot you posted (above) with the error from Terminal is saying it can't find  /Volumes/192.168.0.250/
That means your FlashAir card was not mounted for some reason, and/or your network cannot reach it.

I would suggest trying the following in order:

1. Reboot your Mac
   
2. Try running the script again (making sure no other apps are running)
   
3. If you get any errors, then try connecting with your web browser.  Enter the following into the browser address bar:
   

Code:

http://192.168.0.250

If it connects, you will see a FlashAir page with the files listed.
If you can't connect to it using your browser, then open Terminal and copy/paste the following command:

Code:

ping -c5 192.168.0.250

The next to last line from the ping output will show packet loss. If it's 100% then the FlashAir card is not connected to the network.

EDIT: your new access point should be getting it's IP address from your router's DHCP pool.  If you can log into your router and post the DHCP settings here it it might help.
The IP address of your computer shouldn't matter as long as it's on the same 192.168.0.### subnet.

The length of this thread (and the cost of a FlashAir card) reaffirms my faith in the SneakerNet.

Reboot seems to have put it back.

Somehow when I was deleting some old files from my flash drive I thought were useless and now my CopyCPAP function became disabled. Can someone please help to get me back up & running?

[Ratchick]

It might be helpful if you can list what files you still have.

[Jeff8356]

Have you emptied your Trash yet??? If not, the restore the files from there.

Any chance you have Time Machine setup to do backups?

I had it all set up on the mac os but can only access the files in windows (I'm running Parallels). I can't open in mac os (see last image). I am lost as to how to restore the CopyCpap.app.

[Jeff8356]

Just restore the CopyCPAP.app to your Mac's hard drive.  The files you listed using Windows are contained inside the app. A Mac app is just a container that holds other files needed to run the app and you can view them by right clicking on the app and choose "Show package contents".  You should not alter the contents of the files inside the app, or try to restore them individually.  And do not use Windows to restore it. If you deleted or restored the contents of the app using Windows then it would probably just be easier to re-create the app from scratch.


It's only an AppleScript file to get the data from your FlashAir card and does not contain your actual xPAP data.
Go back to the original FlashAir instructions I posted in the wiki to re-create CopyCPAP.app if you need to:

I would strongly recommend getting a high capacity external USB hard drive and using it to backup your Mac using Time Machine.  Makes it real easy to restore file(s) when something goes wrong.
