Installing on RPI3 with newest version of Raspbian

[shawnipoo]

Hello, does anything need to be changed in order to get this running on the latest version of Rasbpian on a Pi3? I've tried the automatic and manual methods described here, and it does not start properly... At one point I managed to get it broadcasting, but not properly...

Thank you!

Hi @shawnipoo,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. There's actually a new version of resin-io/resin-wifi-connect that now includes an install script for Raspbian.

The script's in their repository if you want to try it out. It works really well! If you run into any issues with the script then they're quick to respond to issues.

If you use wifi-connect directly then you need to manage when it starts up. If you'd like something more automatic, I've been updating the radiodan/provision wifi-connect step to use the new install script. This adds a systemd script that will automatically run wifi-connect when the Pi starts up and cannot find a network.

I've tested with Raspbian Stretch Lite and both seem to work well! Let me know how you get on.
