 **WiFi not connecting:**
 
-- Verify SSID/password in `secrets.py`
+- Verify SSID/password in `config.json`
 - Check 2.4GHz WiFi (Pico W doesn't support 5GHz)
 - LED should be solid when connected
 - Check serial console for connection status
 
 **Discord messages not sending:**
 
-- Verify webhook URLs in `secrets.py`
+- Verify webhook URLs in `config.json`
 - Test webhooks with curl/Postman first
 - Check Pico has internet access (ping test)
 - Look for error messages in serial console
