10/18/2023 Map Stopped Working?
Visit this post for the fix
I just finished my first Livesectional map and it's working great. Now I'm building one for a friend and having trouble getting the RPI for this one to connect to my wifi. I had no issues connecting the RPI for the first map to wifi with Berrylan but for this one BerryLan connects to the bluetooth but hangs up on connecting to my wifi. It shows the wifi symbol with the spinning circle around it but never goes beyond that.
The only difference between the two RPIs I'm using is that the first is a pi zero 2 W and this one is a pi zero W. I saw something on the BerryLan forum that there my be issue with BerryLan and the pi zero W. Does anyone now of any issues and how to resolve it?
I don't recall having an issue setting up wifi on my Pi Zero W. But having said that Berrylan can be a bit hit or miss at times.
If you can connect a monitor and keyboard directly to your Pi Zero, I can walk you through setting up the wifi. Let me know if that will work for you. - Mark
Great.
From the command line enter;
sudo raspi-config
Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, navigate to “Network Options” and press Enter.
Select Wi-fi, then follow the on-screen instructions to enter your network’s SSID and password. When you’re done, select “Finish” on the main menu to close Raspi-Config.
Finally, reboot the Raspberry Pi to apply the settings we’ve just changed. Your WiFi connection should then be good to go!

Let me know how it goes. - Mark
Thanks @markyharris but I was able to get BerryLan to work when I tried again. I guess it is hit or miss as you said.
