      Are there no offline modules I could use? I’m literally trying to create a local bulletin board to put out in the barns, not exactly a mirror

          @barenakedchicken you could write a module that reads from the local SD disk space… course without network support you will have to find a way to update… maybe usb stick as disk,

            I tried flashing magicmirroros. I managed to get ssh running and the wpa_supplicant to get on the wifi. All I get on the console is a blank screen.

            As I was unable to get anything to work, I tried updating using sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts but it says the pi zero is not supported.

            I’m completely lost now.

              @eracerhead said in MagicMirrorOS starts up with blank screen:

              sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts but it says the pi zero is not supported.

              u just reply yes, it keeps going… MM does 'support’s Pi3 and 4 now… but I make it work other places

              u don’t need MM OS… just flash Raspi OS Buster, run my script…

                @sdetweil Thank you for sharing your scripts. Will try today.
                Do you know if there a way to provide the Raspi OS with the WiFi SSID and password without logging into Raspi desktop environment? Like in a text file or so?

                    @sdetweil Thank you. I was looking for a solution to provide SSID and password upfront, so no interactions are needed and Raspi can connect to your WiFi right out from the start.

                      @Dimasua nothing built in. U have to at least edit or creste a file…u could do that after u flash the SD card. Before booting it
