RP2040 Pico W WiFi problems when using platformIO.

[alan16R]

I've configured a platformio project as specified in the current documentation under "PlatformIO integration". I cannot get the WiFI library to work using code that works fine in the Arduino IDE. I've tried various combinations with no success. Here's my platformio.ini.

[env:pico] platform = https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-raspberrypi.git board = pico framework = arduino board_build.core = earlephilhower

Here's the snippet of code used to configure the WiFI.

` if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println("No WIFI found");
while (true);
}
wiFiMulti.addAP(ssid, pass);

while(wiFiMulti.run() != WL_CONNECTED){
Serial.print("Waiting for connection");
delay(100);
}
Serial.println(WiFi.macAddress());`

Running this using the Arduino IDE 2.3.5 connects successfully, but the same code in a PIO project as above compiles, loads but fails to connect.

Am I missing something? I'm happy to supply sample projects that work under the Arduino IDE but not PIO and file an issue if this is a bug.

You're not specifying the PicoW board, just a generic RP2040 one. Try board = picow or board = rpipicow

Thank you! Yes that was the problem and so far everything seems to be fine.

Very helpful and thank you again for the prompt response.
