0.3 beta Unable to create wireless profile

[ACX]

Hi, can you test the latest version of the code in the dev branch and report if that works in your setup?

After update with Dev is ok for me

It only works for me if I run the wireless network open, no security. Not a great solution. I don't like my network open.

How do I run the commands this? Is it from a terminal window? If so how do I get to it?

Hi jackfunkhouser,

are there any special characters (like space, / or \) in your password?
If so please try to quote your password, enter it in quotes (like "my password").

How do I run the commands this? Is it from a terminal window? If so how do I get to it?

You have to ssh into your pi from an other PC, or connect a monitor and keyboard.

SSH is built into Linux distributions and Mac OS, and a third-party SSH client is available for Windows. See the following guides for using SSH depending on the operating system used by the computer you are connecting from:

Linux & Mac OS
Windows

I have to use an app like putty. Cool I can do that.

If there is a space in your SSID it will replace the whitespace with %. It doesn't happen every time maybe 8 or 9 times out of ten.

If this happens you can edit the config file from putty/terminal with the following command:

Code: Select all

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Replace the the % with a space and check that your key is correct, then press Ctrl+x, y then enter to save and exit.

Reboot and it should connect.

I tried the nightly build. It now seems to build the profile but it won't connect wirelessly. What's interesting is that I took it to my friends house before I tried the nightly build and it connects to his wireless network no problem but still not mine. Somehow it has to be a setting on my router.

Hold on... I deleted the profile and created it again and now its connected. Thanks!
