raspberry pi 4 wifi setup using command line only – bash

  • find the wifi adaptor name
lshw

ls /sys/class/net

it was wlan0 in my case

  • edit /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
network:
    ethernets:
        eth0:
            dhcp4: true
            optional: true
    version: 2
    wifis:
        wlan0:
            optional: true
            access-points:
                    "SSID-NAME":
                            password: "your_password"
            dhcp4: yes
  • Test the config
netplan try
netplan --debug try

This command will make the above changes for 120seconds if anything wrong it will be reverted back. OR you can hit Enter to make the changes.

  • apply config
netplan generate 
netplan apply
#enable wifi module

modprobe brcmfmac

#disable
modprobe -rv brcmfmac


nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmutil
  • Stop wifi without reboot
#disable
rfkill block wifi


#enable
rfkill unblock wifi
  • Using NMCLI
nmcli d

nmcli d wifi list

nmcli d wifi connect my_wifi password <password>

#### with BSSID
root@lp-arm-3:~# nmcli device wifi list

raspberry pi fan on/off automation based on cpu temp

Note : This does not work because IO pins does not enough power to run fan.

fan.py

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from time import sleep
import sys

GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(8, GPIO.OUT, initial=GPIO.LOW) 

if sys.argv[1] == "on":
 GPIO.output(8, GPIO.HIGH)
 print("on")
else:
 GPIO.output(8, GPIO.LOW)
 print("off")
