Greetings, I have a question regarding the SkyWeather Monitoring Station. I purchased this kit last summer but I am finally just getting around to working with it. This is my very first attempt at anything Raspberry Pi / Tinkering/coding and I can already tell that I am in way over my head but I know it is going to be a learning process and I am looking forward to it! The reason why I am reaching out is that I think I may have accidentally lost the data on the pre loaded 16gb SD card that came with the kit. Before I accidentally lost the data on the card I think I was on the right track and things seeming to load without issue. To resolve the problem I have tried to follow some directions online and tried to I download something from Github that I thought was going to work. But I think I am missing something as when I try to follow the written instructions that came with the kit I keep getting 'No such file or directory' or 'command not found'. I am wondering what your recommendation on what I can/should do from here? Is there a way I can download the files again? Thank you in advance.

SKyWeather or SkyWeather2?
PM me and I can send you a link to the V17 SDCard download.

Ok! So the link you sent worked and the download worked as well. I got a new SD and copied the image to the card and the pi booted up and it looked like all the SkyWeather files were there and loaded.
My problem next is that the wifi will not work. "eth0 link is down, lan stopped working' There is an X over my wifi symbol and even plugging with with a cable does not work.
Do you have any suggestions, perhaps I need to try and redownload again Thank you!

This worked Thank you. I have now watched hours of 'how to' videos on YouTube and have been learning lots it has been pretty enjoyable so far minus all the setbacks. First it was adjusting the overscan, then connecting to wifi then ssh. Now that I think I have things ready to go I am literally stuck on step #1 in the manual : Change directory to SDL_Pi_SkyWeather command cd SDL_Pi_SkyWeather Whenever I try this I just get a -bash: cd: SDL_Pi_SkyWeather: No such file or directory message. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Edit (I have a folder SDL_Pi_SkyWeather2 and was able to access that. Would this work even thought I do not have the Skyweather2?)
I am truly sorry for all the basic questions but I do genuinely appreciate you taking time to reply.
