Web workflow problem with Lolin C3 Mini

[ldrolez]

CircuitPython version

Adafruit CircuitPython 8.2.10 on 2024-02-14; Wemos Lolin C3 Mini with ESP32-C3FH4

Code/REPL

none

Behavior

The board does not connect to the AP, and web workflow is not started

Description

• settings.toml is OK
• but it does not connect to the AP
• I have read about the tx power problem so I added 'wifi.radio.tx_power=8.5' to code.py => no improvement
• If I run wifi.radio.connect(...) it connects, but is there a way to restart the web workflow from here, in command line?

Additional information

No response

Please try 9.0.0-rc.1, and please show us your settings.toml, with the SSID and password redacted.

CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID = "Myssid-ABCDEF"
CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD = "pass with spaces"
CIRCUITPY_WEB_API_PASSWORD = "qwerqwer"
CIRCUITPY_WEB_API_PORT = 80

Ok I'll try the 9.0

Adafruit CircuitPython 9.0.0 on 2024-03-19; Wemos Lolin C3 Mini with ESP32-C3FH4

Same problem, manual wifi.radio.connect() works

[ldrolez]

Things seem to be worse with 9.0.4: if I have a settings.toml, Thonny cannot connect to the ESP.

Ok with the proper boot.py, the web workflow starts:

import wifi
wifi.radio.tx_power=8.5
