Currently I have everything soldered and what not, and am now working on the software... one problem. Every time I go and edit the WiFi from the sd card, when I go in the minty pi and look for my ip... it says unknown. Then when I pop the ad card back into the computer, the WiFi file is gone completely, I looked and searched but it says it cannot be found. I couldn't even add a new folder for it without it disappearing. What is the best instruction on adding my WiFi? :evil:

Make sure that you are using a 2.4 ghz network (it does not have a 5 ghz antenna) and a RaspberryPi Zero W. The non W variant (1.3) does not have wifi on it.

As far as the supplicant file, you can just make another one on the boot drive.

Code: Select all

country=US
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
    ssid="INSERT SSID HERE"
    psk="INSERT PASSWORD HERE"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Edit the parts you need and name it "wpa_supplicant.conf" or you can use my generator located in the following link: https://codepen.io/LilTrublMakr/pen/yRGPrv
