Initial setup w/o ethernet

Hi @gauravjain, thanks for your question!

If you have physical access to your Wi-Fi access point, you may be able to connect physically via Ethernet (a lot of access points have Ethernet ports for a wired connection to the network).

Having said that, if you'd still like to get set up with Wi-Fi only on your TinyPilot, it is possible, but it's a little more involved.

First, you'll want to perform a factory reset on your TinyPilot's microSD card at the start of the process so that we guarantee we have a fresh install.

Once the re-flash is complete, open the boot partition on the microSD card (bootfs) and create a new plaintext file called wpa_supplicant.conf in that directory.

Edit wpa_supplicant.conf and add the following information (you'll need to change the country code, ssid, and psk (password) values to match your network):

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
ap_scan=1

update_config=1
network={
	ssid="YourWiFiSSID"
	psk="YourWiFiPassword"
}

Save the wpa_supplicant.conf file and eject your microSD card from your computer.

Insert the microSD card into your TinyPilot and then connect the power cable to turn on your TinyPilot. Allow your TinyPilot to boot and connect to your Wi-Fi network - this may take up to 5 minutes.

Try to connect to your TinyPilot's web interface using https://tinypilot, https://tinypilot.local, or https://tinypilot.localdomain. If your TinyPilot connected to your Wi-Fi network, you should have access to the TinyPilot web interface.

I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
