Hi,
I am trying to setup open plotter headless mode with an AP but I seem stuck any advice would be appreciated.
RPI 2
OpenPlotter 0.8 (Checksum is ok)
Write image to SD card with dd
load up boot drive
edit config.txt with;
- device=wlan0, SSID , password etc
Boot up and no AP appears
To troubleshoot:
- connect serial cable
- boot is normal, login as pi and sudo to root
- ifconfig shows wlan0 without ip address
- lsusbĀ Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter
so I figure better check my work, go to /boot/ and check config.txt i note everything i have changed is there except it just has "device=" no wlan0
so I use nano (with sudo) and edit it again, close, open it again and check changes are present reboot and get the same result.
For a laugh I copy config.txt to config.txt2 and reboot and I can see both files. config.txt2 is good and config.txt has changed again.
I am sure I am doing something stupid but I can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex
