Tiny Pilot Wifi - Baltic Sailor - 2019-11-08

loaded the latest image and turned the bare Raspberry Zero W on and did not see on my PC a new WIFI. Loaded the image onto a different SD card and also used the older image.
When I connected  the monitor and keyboard I could see that the raspberry booted ok.
Is it normal that I cant see the wifi, or does wifi not work my with the Rasberry Zero card?
Perhaps it needs to be enabed, but I understand from the discription, that on startup wifi is enabled.

Its a a Rasberry Zero W Ver. 1.1 with the wifi chip on  it

Wifi AP is enabled by default on tinypilot image.

Thanks for the answer. That means the WiFi part of the board is dead. Just order a new raspberry pi zero wh.

I have tried a lot of raspberry W, and I have come across 3 that had bad wifi chips. You might have this bad luck.

Received the new Raspberry zero w and it worked immediately. Unfortunately I bought the one on eBay in China was cheap....
