motionEyeOS Version

I am running motionEyeOS version: (motioneyeos-raspberrypi3-20200606.img.xz)).

Board Model

I am using the following board/model: (Raspberry PI 3A+).

Camera

I am using the following type of camera: (Raspberry Pi Camera Module NoIR 3 Wide, connects to Pi by ribbon cable ).

My camera model is: (it has a 1.14 on it).

Network Connection

My motionEyeOS unit is connected to the network via: (attempting to connect to WiFi. It has failed. It has never connected successfully. This model of Pi has no wired ethernet).

Peripherals

I am using the following peripherals that I consider relevant to this issue:

  • Nothing relevant.
  • I have a wired USB keyboard plugged into the board that isn't yet useful.
  • I have a regular HDMI monitor plugged into board
  • I have power supply plugged into board
  • I have the camera ribbon cable plugged into the camera ribbon cable connector on board
  • That's it

Log Files

I consider the following log files relevant to this issue:

  • /var/log is empty. No files at all

bootpar

I have created the image on SD card several times. I have created and place in the boot partition the wpa_supplicant.conf file shown in screen shot. I created wpa_supplicant.conf and placed it in /boot prior the first boot of the card on the pi. I placed copies of wpa_supplicant.conf into /boot into /data/etc and into /etc (I wasn't sure I was supposed to do that or not). I have tried many variations of the wpa_supplicant.conf syntax. While the red LED goes on, on the Pi, and the green LED blinks a lot, I get no video output to a monitor, and I get no connection to the WiFi network. I verified that I can connect to the WiFi network using same credentials with a laptop. I am a newbie. I have tried a large number of things to make it work, reading docs and trouble reports. The SD is 256GB. The board is stamped 2022. There is nothing in the /var/log directory - no files at all, zero. Prior to installing MotionEye, I had the conventional Rapsberry Pi OS on the board and was able to view video with the camera. Don't know what to do next.
