Hello,

I am having an issue getting this working again. I have had it working in the past but when I tried installing on a second pi, I can't get it working. Here is my setup:

Install Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-BIT Legacy) on SD Card using Raspberry Pi Imager (Raspberry Pi OS – Raspberry Pi) (download the Raspberry Pi Imager to your PC if you have not already done so)

Eject SD Card when writing has completed and reinsert SD Card into reader

Enable WiFi (if needed) Open Notepad or Notepad++
Paste the following (change YOURSSID to the ssid in which you will be connecting to, change YOURPASSWORD [psk] to password of ssid you will be connecting to)
country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="YOURSSID"
scan_ssid=1
psk="YOURPASSWORD"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Save as wpa_supplicant.conf in boot partition of SD card

Place SD card into Raspberry Pi and plug in monitor, keyboard and power

Login to Pi using the default username and password
raspberrypi login: pi
Password: raspberry
