I recently got an ESP32-S3 feather and am running CircuitPython 8.0.0beta1 on it, but I'm having a few issues.
- The WiFi on my board seems to be non-functional (mostly). I've managed to get it to connect 3 or 4 times, but almost always I get a "No network with that said" (65% of the time) or "Unknown failure 2" (35%). I've tried this on a USB charger, on a LiPo battery, and connected to a computer. I've been using the code from the "CircuitPython Internet Test". I have a FeatherWing Proto board stacked on top, removing it has no effect. The WiFi scan regularly returns no results, and when it does, it never returns more than 1 or 2, which is really unusual since I'm in a dense area and there are 18-24 networks within range. My router is in the same room and is maybe 6 feet away, so signal strength isn't an issue. For testing purposes, I put the connect call in a loop with an automatic soft reset at 25 retries and it's tried to connect at least 150 times since I started writing this post with no successful connections.
- Less important, but still frustrating is that I can't seem to get battery percentage / voltage. I used the example code from the "Power Management" topic on the Learn site. I've grabbed I2C scan code from other topic and it finds 0xb as expected, but reading the percentage always says no I2C device found.
