Sleepyhead and ResMed

Since OS X is a Linux/Unix derivative, try the command ls -a on the card's directory in your Terminal.

Thanks.  What's the trick to configuring it (OS-X)?  I thought it should be a simple config file, but opening it with Terminal indicates something else or perhaps I just don't know how to do it.

Open it with TextEdit instead.

Here are links to some threads on using the card and FlashPap:

Larry,
Each time you edit the CONFIG file you will need to replace the asterisks in the APPNETWORKKEY with your password or the card won't connect to your network after you edit it.

How do I open it with Textedit so it can be edited?  Using command-shift-. I can see it (sometimes) but it shows as locked and won't let me edit it.  Thanks!

First, I admit that I'm technically challenged on a Mac.  This would seem to be a file ownership problem.  I would look a the file permiissions to see if they provide any insight.  I Googled: "how to change file ownership in osx" and got a bunch of instructions.  Maybe you will understand them better than I do.

[LarryRapp]

I did.  It's actually pretty easy.  You open the file in textedit and then press command-shift-.  (that last thing is a period).  I'm at the point of trying to get it to register with the network.  It looks like it can't because of the version of OS-x that I have.  The problem is that even though the CPAP is about 7 feet from the router (an EERO) the card won't initialize because it is waiting for a program from Toshiba.  I have a few more things to try and then I'll give up.

Help!  I am trying to get a FlashAir working with a ResMed 10 and a MacBook Pro Retina.  I have the Config file edited (A) but cannot get a response from the card in the machine (B).  The card is about 7 lineal feet from the EERO router and I know the router works with computers.  I know the network name and password (both in Config).  The OS is 10.13.3.  I assume the card asks for a DHCP address.  What should I do?

Boy am I getting "Some Timers"!  I forgot that Unix/Linux type systems will end a line of text with a CR (carriage return - ASCII:13 / Hex:0x0D character) by default, whereas a Windows text file line is ended with a CR/LF (carriage return/linefeed - ASCII:13 & 10 / Hex:0x0D & 0x0A characters).  FlashAir needs the CR/LF in order for the CONFIG file to be read.  Otherwise, it will appear as one (long) continuous line of text to the FlashAir.  You will go nowhere in a hurry. . . I know, I've done it.  Most text editors on a Mac and Linux have an option for how to treat line ends.

Sounds like you are getting closer.

[LarryRapp]

I understand what you said, but what do you want me to do?  Modify Textedit?

[Crimson Nape]

I just Googled OSX Textedit and it uses LF (line feeds) only.  This will cause WiFi connection problems.  

I did find this recommendation on the subject:

Windows and DOS use CR and LF to indicate new lines, MacOS (9 and earlier) uses CR only, and OS X and Unix use LF only. TextWrangler and BBEdit both allow you to save files with your choice of line endings. TextEdit allows only LF endings.

I hope this may help.
