Hi @jeffln12345 I just removed the last half of your email address as the username, spam bots will see that.
It sounds like an issue with how you are installed the Pi OS.
Are you using Bullseye version of the OS shown on page 5 and 6 of install manual? I'm guessing you are, just want to be sure.
Did you verify the wifi credentials shown on page 8 and 9 of the manual?
If you are using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W you will need to connect using your 2.4GHz login from your router, it's not compatible with 5GHz. On the odd occasion I've also seen the Pi 3 not connect to some 5 GHz network, if you use this try connecting to via 2.4GHz.
A lot of routers will let you setup both a 2.4GHz and 5GHz network so you may need to log into your router to verify both are activated. Typically you can set a different password for each so you may need to check that.

I'm using a Pi zero W
So i got past the not connecting with putty, it was the SSH not checked on Pi imager. Now got a different problem see picture.
I was working on it last night and had gotten to log into robo tank but by morning it wouldn't connect so i started all over again.

It looks like a possible network issue with the Pi as it's failing to download the necessary packages, it's saying connection timed out. If that happens again re-run the script again so it can try again.

now i got it to install, got threw the robo-tank start up and into the dashboard. Now i have other glitch problems.
The temperatures show in the corner but wont load on a chart
I got the dosing pump set up but it wont dose at night, it works on manual dose and when calibrating.
The dosing pump group schedule doesn't work
I went threw the hole installation process and now it even worse. no temps show up, shows it unplugged but its not the settings menu is missing a bunch of stuff.
I did the hole install process over 8 times
How do i reinstall the old version, i give up on this one.

Hi @jeffln12345 sorry to hear it's not going well, something went wrong during the install as you have the red plug under the time, it looks like the backend isn't running. It also doesn't look like v6.7 was installed as there are some icons missing on the settings page. Did you use the Bullseye version of the OS?
To install an older version you'll need to start from the beginning and reinstall the OS and when you run the following commands to start the install script you can change the version number. For example in the first two commands you can see "6_7" change that to the version you had running.
sudo wget -c https://www.robo-tank.ca/app/releases/Robo-Tank_v6_7.zip
sudo unzip -o Robo-Tank_v6_7.zip -d /boot/
sudo bash /boot/robotank/install_robotank.sh

So i have tried now about 40 times with basically the same results. I tried different versions of Pi OS, different devices, and SD card.
If I click on the PH calibration it takes me to system setting.
When trying to set up the dosing pump schedule it shows unplugged and doesn't add.
The charts for PH and 2 temps don't load.
Starting to get extremely annoyed but if no one else is having similar problems it got to be something I'm doing but I don't think there is anything i haven't tried.
I have tried the older versions with the same results

Sorry for all the pain this has caused, it is strange nothing is working for you. As the plug is red under the clock it means the backend isn't running so nothing will work.
What browser are you using? Either way, doesn't explain the backend not running.
With putty log into the pi and run the following commands to see what messages you get.
cd /var/www/html/cpp
sudo ./robotank
This will attempt to start up the backend, if successful you'll see lots of output showing the setting for each system. I expect this won't happen and you'll get an error of some sort.
