All instructions followed but have not been successful in connecting the extender board to the Raspberry Pi.
Extender board IP changed and testSGSSytem file changed to include the new extender board IP. Several runs of the test file made all with the same Wireless Extender 192.168.1.26 NOT RESPONDING
Any help would be appreciated

I'll help you debug this.
First give us the results from this:
ping 192.168.1.26
Please also post the contents SGS.JSON file in your SGS2 directory. Remove the passwords that are in the files.
That will help!

Ping of 192.168.1.26 gives:
{"variables": {}, "id": "1475", "name": "", "ipaddress": "192.168.1.26", "hardware": "esp32","return_string": "", "connected": true}
In my ...SmartGardenSystem2 directory, there is no SGS.JSON file

Have you configured your system per the manual?
If not, that is probably your whole issue. There absolutely should be an SGS.JSON file in the directory if you have done that.

Thanks for the help. As you can see from the screen grab, I ran the SGSConfigure script but it hung. As you can also see, my WiFi shows 2 red X's so maybe this is the problem. I have the SGS micro SD card installed. I fitted another micro SD card with Buster on it to the Pi and WiFi was Ok. Any thoughts? ![]() |

Plugging in an Ethernet cable into the Pi eliminated the WiFi red x's by blue up/down arrows.
The testSGSSystem and SGSConfigure sketches now run successfully. The Smart Garden System screen is displayed and the scan for SGS Hardware works as expected as per the Configuration and Operation Manual. I will now continue with configuring the system.
I would have liked my system to work without using the Ethernet cable but this is not a significant concern.
Thanks for your help

As you suggest I had not provisioned my SD card.
I could not access the RPiHostspot from my PC as I didn't know the network security key. So I used PuTTY to execute the code in the SGS SD card documentation and now have my RPi wireless operational so I no longer have to use the Ethernet connection.
Thanks for your help
