The process for OctoPi 0.14 and earlier differs from that of OctoPi 0.15 and later. The file you need to edit varies depending on which version of OctoPi you downloaded. The file you will need to edit is in the /boot/ directory of the SD card (if you are editing on a Windows or Mac computer, the /boot/ directory will likely be the only directory you can see.) Look in the 'boot' directory of the SD card. You access the card just as you would an external disk or thumb drive mounted on your computer. With the SD card plugged in to your computer (you may need an adapter for your computer to accept the SD card if it doesn't already include the appropriate slot). The trouble-shooting methods found in later sections of this write-up should still be helpful.īefore editing the files noted below, read the troubleshooting section below about using the appropriate text editor while editing this file. I've left the description below for those who prefer to edit WiFi settings via other methods, or who may run into problems and need to adress this by other methods. Instructions for using the Raspberry Pi Imager to download and install OctoPrint and edit the WiFi settings can be found at - Download & Setup OctoPrint NOTE: there is now an easier way to edit the WiFi settings than the method described below. Basic Setup - Edit Info to Log On to Your WiFi Network There are also a number of other OctoPrint/OctoPi videos on YouTube which describe basic set-up as well as advanced options.

The page also includes basic installation directions as well as a video describing installation process. We are also assuming that you have already successfully downloaded the OctoPi image and 'burned' it on to your SD card. This page assumes that your WiFi network is up and working and that other devices are able to connect to it without a problem. This thread is intended to detail a couple of common problems people have experienced and things to try to resolve them. A number of people who have followed the instructions for setting up OctoPi on your Raspberry Pi experience problems getting connected to WiFi.
