WIFI will NOT enable
i am sorry to bring this up again. I HAVE been through every post I can find. I HAVE enabled wifi by editing the wpa_supplicant on the SD before 1st boot. I have "tried" to edit the file after 1st boot via the file structure (but the info to do this on here appears old, b/c that directory either doesn't exist, or doing it using a regular instance of pi OS, the file has permissions set so I can't save changes.
I am about 18 hours into this project.
I have only TWICE seen a 2nd IP address visible, telling me it actually enabled (as I type this , it is showing 2) but these are the times the feeder will not start at all.
I CAN ssh into either of the IPs so i know they work..
I have bulked the SD and re-installed. That NEVER works. The ONLY way I can seem to get FR24 to actually work is if I SSH into a pi and do the install via the direct install that way;
Otherwise, a direct .img just gives me the" Flightradar24 Feeder hasn't started." error. And THEN, when I go to the web on my PC, it says this receiver is online and activated.
I know using LAN and WIFI concurrently is not supposed to be done. SO... I unplug the Cat5 and it still gives me an IP but won't connect.
I am using (trying) 2 different pi boards.
I have 1 SD with a regular install of a pi OS and it works like a champ. Wifi works. BT works. It's a computer. I tried loading FR24 on it as an overlay, but can't log into that overlay b/c it wants a password but none was required at install, and default ones don't work.
Also I have gone into the hardware config itself raspi-config and set wifi up.
Interestingly, when I tried communicating with TechSupport, that was their only suggestion, and said that enables BT as well, but BT is not even a setting in there. Oh, but they did wish me "Best Regards"
Sorry this is jumbled, but as you can see, I'm not a total noob and have tried many combinations and nothing works.
any new thoughts or have you been through this Dorothy rabbit-hole and come out alive on the other side?
