Pi ZeroW wont connect to WiFi
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2021 4:45 pm
Hi guys
Just trying to get my ZeroW to connect to Wifi but no luck so far. Using the PiStar V4.1.4.08 Feb 2021 image with the Wifi info added to "boot" by means of the Wifi builder which creates a "supplicant" file. The "hat" is from Amazon but I believe is called a Zumspot?
Pretty sure the ZeroW is Ok as I have previously loaded a "noobs" package which allowed you to prime the Wifi credentials using a couple of type in boxes. That worked fine but of course no Pi-Star software and that couldn't be found by the search tool and "add software". However the "supplicant" route is not connecting at all and that is confirmed by no ip address appearing during boot up and no icon entry in the BT router table. The Zumspot hat works fine on both a Pi B+ and also a Pi 3 with wired ethernet and you get the illuminated display.
I suppose by elimination the "supplicant" file must be the issue but it seems complete and was added to the SD card as per instructions. Removing the "hat" doesn't solve the problem.
Any guidance welcome.
