prewritten wifi config

create a text file called wpa_supplicant.conf, and place it in the root directory of the microSD card. You will need the following text in the file.

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

network={
    scan_ssid=1
    ssid="111"
    psk="electrodragon"
}

turn on ssh

For Windows: Create a file named ssh, without any extension, on the boot partition of the SD card.

Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and add id_str="school" under the schools wpa info and id_str="home" under your homes wpa info. Your file should now look similar to this:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="111"
    psk="electrodragon"
    id_str="school"
}

network={
    ssid="FF_W"
    psk="123456789"
    id_str="home"
}
