Does not reconnect to wifi if disconnected. about firmware HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello, thanks for reporting the issue!

Please check if the re-connect would work with 0.8.1 release candidate branch https://github.com/pico-cs/firmware/tree/v0.8.1.
At least in case of a connection issue, the error would be logged to the USB output.

Please let me know about the outcome - thanks!

Hi, Yes that looks better I can see it reconnecting now. In my case I think my AP (openwrt) is being a bit aggressive and ultimately deauthenticating the pico off after a number of reconnects though that's not an issue with pico-cs. :)

Yes, did see that there are lots of complaints about this openwrt issue on the internet. The pico-cs firmware does answer 'pings' in case this would help to keep the connection alive.
