Description

Trying to disable PowerManagement on a esp board acting as client WiFi.

The last doc says:

Constants
WLAN.PM_PERFORMANCE
WLAN.PM_POWERSAVE
WLAN.PM_NONE

I tried from REPL:

from network import *
nic = WLAN(STA_IF)
nic.config(pm = WLAN.PM_NONE)

dir(nic)
['__class__', 'PM_NONE', 'PM_PERFORMANCE', 'PM_POWERSAVE', 'active', 'config', 'connect', 'disconnect', 'ifconfig', 'isconnected', 'scan', 'status']

Questions:

  1. So the attributes are available also on the nic instance: is it wanted or is just a leftover from the past ?

  2. esp32: do these attributes make obsolete the previous setting listen_interval ?

  1. So the attributes are available also on the nic instance: is it wanted or is just a leftover from the past ?

This is as expected, ie. PM_NONE etc are effectively attributes of the WLAN class, so they will appear as attributes of instances of WLAN as well, so you may just as well use nic.PM_NONE as WLAN.PM_NONE.

  1. esp32: do these attributes make obsolete the previous setting listen_interval ?

I am not aware of a listen_interval setting (I checked back as far as v1.17).

For the esp32, the levels correspond to the setting decribed in the Espressif docs. The default value for the listen_interval when using PM_POWERSAVE is 3 (which can't be changed from micropython). See PR #8993 for more discussion about the pm settings.
