Hi Mike,
After you copy the wpa_supplicant.conf to the boot partition of the microSD card, the next time you boot up Pi-Star, the file is automatically moved to /etc/wpa_supplicant/, so you won't find it in the boot partition anymore.
Hi Mike,
I run a 3a supply.. no issuesVE3NMX wrote:Toshen: Thanks - that is very good info to know. I will copy config file again to boot: in my next attempt.

This is interesting. I have been plugging in Jumbo Spot into computer - USB port for power, which is 5v I assume.
Before, powered up unit just with USB wall wart @ 5v/500mA - turned on, lights came on, but cannot recall the degree to which lights came on, though they did, were flashing, etc.
I have another USB wall wart at 5.5v with a 1A current draw, but am concerned with over-voltage on that one. Maybe .5v over is too much, maybe not.

The important thing with your power source is that it have 2.5A output (perhaps the two most common causes of initial failures are substandard power supplies and substandard microSD cards).
Standard USB 2 ports are limited to 500mA (and if the port is part of a hub, typically the 500mA is distributed to all ports of the hub).VE3NMX wrote: ↑Mon Oct 01, 2018 9:04 pm This is interesting. I have been plugging in Jumbo Spot into computer - USB port for power, which is 5v I assume.
