Problem with ssid of Pi Pico network solved

 Been having problems with ssid of network Sent message below to Perplexity:

I'm now having troble getting my Pi PicoW AP network to be recognized. Whatever I call it, the name of the network comes up as PICO241F. On the PC and on my iPhone. Below is the simplest initiation of an AP network that I can write but still get that strange 'PICO241F' name. Have tried resetting everything but not yet reinstalled micropython on my pi pico. This used to work but not now. Can you help me name my own Pi PIco network with my choice of ssid?


#Want simplest AP network connection

import network

import socket


ssid = 'NAME' #This gets changed to PICO24F

password = 'PASSWORD'

# Set up access point

ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF)

ap.active(True)


ap.config(essid=ssid, password=password)


# Wait for connection

while not ap.isconnected():

    pass


print('AP Mode Is Active, You can Now Connect')

print('IP Address To Connect to::', ap.ifconfig()[0])

#above all works but get the wrong ssid

---------------------------so I tried this below----------------

#Want simplest AP network connection

import network

import socket


ssid = 'NAME'

password = 'PASSWORD'

# Set up access point

ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF)


ap.active(False)  # Deactivate first

ap.config(essid=ssid, password=password)


print("Configured SSID:", ap.config('essid'))

ap.active(True)

# Wait for connection

while not ap.isconnected():

    pass


print('AP Mode Is Active, You can Now Connect')

print('IP Address To Connect to::', ap.ifconfig()[0])

-----------------
It's all about deactivating network while inserting new ssid. Hope this stays working.

Reading LittleFS file into buffer for sending

 Reading LittleFS file into buffer for sending to another ESP32 via ESP Now. Created dummy file 1321 bytes long with "sensor" information in the form like this:     uint8_t sensorData1[] = "[ 00 12:05:12:06:01 22 33 44 \n"; Red stuff above is timestamp to later get in real time from DS3231.  Blue stuff is dummy sensor information, two ascii chars representing 00 to 99. Black stuff is just formatting chars and spaces. The following program reads in about 43 lines of sensor information as above and puts it into LittleFS file called sensorReadings.txt. This file then gets cut up into 200 byte chunks (via sendBuf[200] ) and gets sent to dummy sender file called sendNowBuf(). No actual sending takes place, so next sub-project is to send the 200 byte chunks one by one via ESPNow to second ESP32. //41 From Arduino Examples/mnt/c/Users/Dell/Documents/Arduino/Working202411/LITTLEFS_test2/LITTLEFS_test2.ino #include <Arduino.h> #include "FS.h" #include <Li...
