@rblum - If you have solved the problem, please check the little resolved icon in your post that describes the solution.
After much head banging and formatting and refreshing several times. I changed the country to UK, saved then back to US saved and then added the SSID/password and within 30 seconds of reboot it was visible on my wifi router. RBpi 3 B+ with octoprint 16
OctoPi 0.16*
I was having issues getting wireless started. I read through the posts here (thanks much to all the contributors) but it turns out I had only uncommented the ssid="MySSID" and psk="MyPassword" lines in the config file, leaving the network={} out.
Hoping this helps other idiots. What finally gave it away--and this may help others--was running
$sudo wpa-supplicant -c/boot/octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt -Dwext -iwlan0
and seeing the error messages parsing the config file.
Or just follow directions more carefully...

I created an account to say thanks you help this idiot. Ive worked in IT for 16 plus years and that # next to the } was completely missed for like an hour. Thanks again.
I need some help.
I have an rpi 3 b clone made by Kano
it is pratically identical, aside from it not having an ethernet port.
I attempted many times to run octopi on it, but it would shut down after about a minute of it running
since I have it connected to a monitor, I can constantly see what is happening on it
Since that didnt work, I decided to put octoklipperpi on it through the rpi imager
I did the usual editing of the network and camera settings on the docs on the sd using vscode (not texteditor)
and after i ran it, it doesnt display any problems
but just refuses to connect to my network.
I have checked the details a countless number of times but am still doesnt connect
on the screen it says, "You may now open a web browser on your local network and navigate to any of the following addresses to access OctoPrint
https is also available, with a self-signed certificate."
then it says some other { Ok } stuff and then says, "octopi login [ OK ]
and some other stuff after that
i did all of this work on a mac btw
m1
can someone tell me what to do? thanks
im also pretty sure that the green light on my pi is busted
If you have a keyboard and monitor connected, please try running through the WiFi troubleshooting guide.
