Im trying to connect my pi 4 to the wifi via editing the boot file on the sd card. the wifi is a hidden network The following i tried to do, see picture.

the file name is [wpa_supplicant.conf] i added this file on the sd

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=NL
network={
  ssid="Hyperloop 2.4g"
  scan_ssid=1
  key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK
  psk="xxxmywifipaswordxxx"
}

Im wondering what i do wrong because i cant find the device on the network. I use an app to find devices that are connected to the network.

Thanks in advance

Check this link out if it has secured by WPA2. – M. Rostami Mar 03 '20 at 09:59
Let me guess. UDelft? – Swedgin Mar 03 '20 at 10:10
And by no GUI, does that mean you have terminal access? You could use wpa_cli to setup your connection. – Swedgin Mar 03 '20 at 10:11
@Swedgin , yes im studying at the TU Delft. But i wanna program my own bitcoin node. – Marco Mar 03 '20 at 10:13
Haha the hyperloop and NL gave it away. But do you have terminal access or is the pi running headless?; No GUI is not the same as headless – Swedgin Mar 03 '20 at 10:22
@Swedgin , Im running booster lite no the raspberry pi. or atleast, i try to. I cant get in to the terminal. Im just trying to configure the sd card like that so it will connect to the wifi. I think i have to edit the [wpa_supplicant.conf] file – Marco Mar 03 '20 at 10:49
@M.Rostami i tried this but it is still not working :(. i think i will let my nerd roommate friend fix this stuff – Marco Mar 03 '20 at 10:50
In the title you told us that you run a Raspberry Pi 4B but in a comment you say: "Im running booster lite no the raspberry pi". What are you running now? What is this booster lite device? – Ingo Mar 04 '20 at 21:00
