Hi, I’m running Raspian Jessie on my pi and downloaded all the flotilla packages (using `curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/rockpool | bash`). But having plugged my dock into my b+ pi and restarted, its not picked up on my network via [rockpool](http://127.0.0.1:8000/). Pinging 127.0.0.1 gives 100% success, but I can’t see flotilla listed using `lsusb`. I’d be grateful for some next steps as I’m a bit confused! BW Simon :) ---

Hum, are you using the cables supplied? The red one must be used to link the dock to the host, the others are not standard USB cables. try: ``` sudo service flotillad stop /usr/bin/flotilla -d ``` This will launch flotilla and it should tell you whether the process finds a dock. ---

Hi RogueM, Thanks for getting back to me. Yup only using official cables. Here’s the output for `/usr/bin/flotilla -d` ```bash pi@raspberrypi ~ $ /usr/bin/flotilla -d [2016/01/03 17:05:14] Flotilla Ready To Set Sail...

Which is odd given that rockpool can’t locate it. What should my next step be? Thanks, SB :) ---

yes, it seems to find the dock. You don’t have to wait for the network scanning, just connect to the default address. I’m pretty sure it will work. See [https://github.com/RogueM/flotilla-offline/blob/master/documentation/Flotilla-Getting\_Started.pdf](https://github.com/RogueM/flotilla-offline/blob/master/documentation/Flotilla-Getting_Started.pdf) For a hopefully clear outline of the process ;-) ---

Hmm. Just connecting won’t work either. On my iPad it hangs and on my PC it goes straight to searching even if you click connect. 😒 ---

… right you’ve lost me there. If you try to connect from anything but the Pi the Flotilla server/daemon is running then 127.0.0.1 won’t work, you have to use the IP address of the Pi! ---

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve not had much time for tinkering. Ahhh that makes sense! I was assuming that Rockpool scanned the local network and would find it if I was using it as headless. I’ll give it a go tonight and let you know. :) ---

Will be interested to see how this pans out. I’ve recently - mostly - completed implementation of a new discovery service to make Rockpool much faster at finding the dock, so it should hopefully be much, much easier and less mystifying in future. ---

Hi Team, Just a quick note that an update of the flotilla daemon and using the instructions @RogueM posted as me up and running! Thanks for the patience. :) SB
