Pi Zero W installation

[kwatch]

I have Pi Zero W and having an issue installing Moode 6.4.  I copied "wpa_supplicant.conf" to boot partition.

country=us
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant


network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="MyNetworkSSID"
psk="MyNetworkPWD"
}

Did I configure the "wpa_supplicant.conf" incorrectly?

Manually making the wpa_supplicant file won't work. Just let the Zero come up in AP mode, http://moode.local and then enter said and pwd via Network Config.

Another option is to use the moodecfg.txt file on a fresh never booted image.

I tried the 2nd method but did not work.
I created moodecfg.txt and copied to boot partition on a fresh never booted image.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is your WiFi SSID literally “MySSID” and your WiFi password literally “MyPassword”? Probably not, in which case you have to edit your actual credentials into this moodecfg.txt before you use it.

I used My own SSID and PWD.

I configured a SD card using Pi 3 and it works fine in pi zero now.

IIRC the ZeroW takes several minutes to complete auto-config.

I forgot to mention that auto-config leaves a log file. Example below.

Code:

Glad you solved your problem but the preconfiguration technique works fine with an RPi0W (I didn't doubt it but confirmed it anyway with a new install of moOde 6.4 just now).

By any chance did you prepare the moodecfg.txt using Microsoft Windows? If this file has MS-DOS line endings then things get 'interesting'. I just posted an issue against the moOde githut repo.

I committed a potential fix but I don't have a means to test it out (no Windows box).

The package dos2unix is available in many Linux distros, including Raspbian.

Code:

pi@moodeLR:~ $ apt-cache show dos2unix
Package: dos2unix
Version: 7.4.0-1
Architecture: armhf
...blah...blah...blah...
Description: convert text file line endings between CRLF and LF
This package contains utilities dos2unix, unix2dos, mac2unix,
unix2mac to convert the line endings of text files between UNIX (LF),
DOS (CRLF) and Mac (CR) formats.
...

It's 30 year-old code (!) but it still comes in handy sometimes. Used it a lot back in the day.

I have several pi zero w, and the install was straight forward with moode wifi hotspot working.
Oce connected to hotspot i was able to set/choose my own wifi.
