I'm new to piCorePlayer and am attempting to set it up on a RPi Zero W with an Allo MiniBoss DAC board. This hardware setup has worked with Volumio, but I'd like to give piCorePlayer a try after hearing about it from a John Darko article.
My problem is a basic one: I cannot get the system to connect to my wi-fi, using the two methods on the how_to_setup_wifi_on_pcp_without_ethernet page.
1. When I use the setup program with a keyboard and monitor, the settings appear to be saved. After rebooting, I get "Waiting for network.......No network found", and the boot process gets stuck trying to set the date and time (I assume with a service that it can't reach). When I run setup again, the wi-fi settings are blank. Should they still be there, or are they just for one time use?
2. When I create a custom wpa_supplicant.conf file on the SD card, I get similar results. The wi-fi settings appear to be loaded and the system reboots a second time when starting up. I get "Waiting for network.......No network found", and the process hangs up in the same way trying to set the date. I noticed after booting that the file has been renamed to "used_wpa_supplicant.conf" on the SD card.
I've tried the suggestions on the faq_wifi_does_not_work page, like removing the DAC board and verifying the SSID and password. The wi-fi is built into my RPi, so I don't think it's any of the USB adapter issues.
Any help would be most appreciated.
