Tiny Pilot Wifi
#1
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

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....
