All we need to do is get our Raspberry Pi Zero W setup with the right wifi credentials and we’ll be able to remotely access it through a terminal program as if we were using the terminal Raspberry Pi Zero W own desktop – without ever having to plug in a monitor, keyboard or mouse to configure it
Step 1: Create an empty file ’ssh‘ – you can use the notepad from Windows and save that empty file and dump it into boot partition (microSD)
Step 2: Create another file name ‚wpa_supplicant.conf‘ – you need to use the full version of a wpa_supplicant.conf file this means that you must have the 3 lines of data namely country, ctrl_interface and update_config and save the file and dump it into boot partition (microSD)
country=DE
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid=“<SSID>“
scan_ssid=1
psk=“<PASSWORD>“
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Won’t boot without HDMI connected – try ‚rpi-update‘ because that should fix a problem just like this
