Port, board and/or hardware
RP2 - Pico 2 W
MicroPython version
MicroPython v1.25.0-preview.229.g0d46e45a1 on 2025-01-27; Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W with RP2350
Reproduction
import time
import _thread
import urequests
SSID = ""
password = ""
def connect_normal():
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
wlan.connect(SSID, password)
print("Connecting to network")
start_time = time.time()
while not wlan.isconnected() and time.time() - start_time < 20:
print("Waiting for connection...")
time.sleep(2)
if wlan.isconnected():
print("Connected to network")
else:
print("Failed to connect to network")
print("Sleep for 2 seconds")
time.sleep(2)
wlan.disconnect()
def main_thread():
connect_normal()
def second_thread():
for (i) in range(10):
print("Second thread")
time.sleep(2)
_thread.start_new_thread(second_thread, ())
main_thread()
Other things tested but not working:
- Extending the 20-second time limit.
- Putting
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF),wlan.active(True), andwlan.connect(SSID, password)before starting a thread. - Switching the functions
connection_normalandsecond_threadto run in the other thread. So the connection is made on the newly opened thread. - Building firmware with the latest Pico SDK develop
- Adding
rp2.country("NL")andnetwork.country(country).
Expected behaviour
Expected to connect to the network and print Connected to network.
Observed behaviour
No connection is established after the set time of 20 seconds. (Time is irrelevant as it never seems to connect). When the line _thread.start_new_thread(second_thread, ()) is commented out, a connection is found almost every single time.
