V1 Configuring Zynthian mini - sstojos/zynthian-mini GitHub Wiki

Connect zynthian mini to power by connecting USB-C power adapter to Raspberry Pi bord. Use correct power adapter.

Connect zynthian mini to network using network cable attached to Raspberry Pi.

Wait for zynthian to start. Zynthian screen will be wrongly oriented, encoders and their push button will not work. Also 4 additional push buttons will not work. All this will need to be configured inside zynthian web UI.

Connect to zynthian web UI

On another device on the same network open browser and type zynthian IP address in the address bar.

You will need to find out zynthian IP address by going to your internet hub admin UI and go to screen where it shows connected devices. Another way to find out zynthian IP address is long touch top left corner of the screen where it says "Mixer" which will open the admin page and then scroll down to Network info. Select network info where you will be able to see IP address if zynthian is properly connected to your network.

You will be prompted to login. Depending on the zytnhian image that you flashed to SD card you will have different default passwords. Go to official zynthian wiki page to find this out.
