[SOLVED] WiFi not working. - addboy - 2018-06-03 The WiFi is not working. I tried to set country from GB to US but would not reset, is there an update or work around. This is on the new img file. 1.0.0. RE: WiFi not working. - JeroenAdam - 2018-06-04 For me it works on my Pi 3 using the NOOBS .zip, any hardware changes, other SD card or other power source? For others with wifi issues, a bug has been recorded: https://github.com/sailoog/openplotter/pull/213 RE: WiFi not working. - Sailoog - 2018-06-04 You have to set the option that match your hardware configuration, if not, you will get errors. Check the manual and report your hardware configuration and details of error conditions: https://docs.sailoog.com/openplotter-v1-x-x/network RE: WiFi not working. - addboy - 2018-06-05 (2018-06-04, 08:50 PM)Sailoog Wrote: You have to set the option that match your hardware configuration, if not, you will get errors. Thanks for the help! After a few tries I got it working!

Dave, I'm putting Open Plotter on a new 3b+, I have reset the country to US successfully but WiFi still does not work. Can you describe what you did to get it working? Still struggling with this issue here. Thanks, John RE: WiFi not working. - RedRyder - 2018-09-06 (2018-09-05, 05:00 PM)John S Wrote:(2018-06-05, 01:10 PM)addboy Wrote:(2018-06-04, 08:50 PM)Sailoog Wrote: You have to set the option that match your hardware configuration, if not, you will get errors. Hi, John- I've experienced this before as well. What I've found is that the key is always in the settings in the OpenPlotter configuration application, specifically on the "network" tab. It obviously depends on your application, but the setting "client" is what I usually need/want, and once set, allows me to do exactly what I want - have the OpenPlotter Raspberry Pi join my existing network. Your mileage may vary. Good luck! RE: WiFi not working. - Geronius - 2018-09-06 (2018-09-06, 10:52 AM)RedRyder Wrote: Hi, John- Same experience here. After fresh install it was impossible to set WIFI language to DE - "Could not communicate with wpa_supplicant" No wlan0 Wireless adapter was visible and /etc/wpa_supplicant was unchanged (remained set to default country=GB)
Code: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev only after completing all above mentioned steps (and reboot) wlan0 came alive and connected flawlessly cheers, G.

I will try this today and report back.

The configuration as network client does work as it should from non updated V1.0.0! Starting from fresh image.
Note: The openplotter image has the AP configuration as default. Users which run openplotter without a monitor can directly connect to the openplotter AP and use realvnc client to remote control openplotter. The disadvantage is that the AP blocks the internal wlan. So you need to do the steps mentioned above to disable the AP. One of the advantages of openplotter is that it works with low power and is able to work as a router. How much energy does your existing network consums? Is it online all the time? RE: [SOLVED] WiFi not working. - John S - 2018-09-13 I did not attempt the most recent method to get WiFi working however, I can confirm 100% that the method of manually editing wpa_supplicant in the manner posted by Geronius worked perfectly. |
