    cool, I'm looking forward to that :)

    Thanks for the quick reply. I used a USB-TTL converter to see what was on the serial interface when using the same USB power supply.

    First I powered on the Pico and connected the serial converter while it ran. I could send commands over the serial interface and the Pico would answer but I did not see any errors (as expected as the Wifi is setup on startup). When I powered on the Pico while the serial converter was connected, it worked without any errors.

    So I moved all my onInit() code to a function called foo() and called this method with setTimeout(foo, 20000) from onInit(). My plan was to power on the Pico and then after that connect the serial converter so that I could see what was happening when it tries to connect to the Wifi. But this worked also.

    So I just leave the setTimeout() call in onInit and so far it works fine....

    Hi
    I'm running a Pico on 1v80 and I was wondering if this problem still exists.

    I have the following code:

    var ssid, password, url, timeout, apiString, ledInterval, wifiReady, http, wifi, testUrl;
    
    //network & http stuff
    ssid = "myssid";
    password = "mypassword";
    url = "http://www.myserver.com";
    wifiReady = false;
    
    //timestuff
    timeout = 60*1000;
    
    //setup
    apiString = "";
    
    function clearLed() {
        //clear RGB Pixel
    }
    
    function handleData(data) {
        //dosomething
    }
    
    function getForecast() {
        if (wifiReady) {
            http.get(url, function (res) {
                apiString = "";
                res.on('data', function (data) {
                    apiString += data;
                    console.log(data);
                });
                res.on('close', function () {
                    handleData(apiString);
                });
            });
        }
    }
    
    function onInit() {
      
        http = require('http');
    
        digitalWrite(B9,1); // enable on Pico Shim V2
    
        //init serial for Wifi
        Serial2.setup(115200, {rx: A3, tx: A2});
    
        //init LED bus
        SPI2.setup({baud: 3200000, mosi: B15});
        SPI2.send4bit([0, 0, 0], 0b0001, 0b0011);
    
        wifi = require("ESP8266WiFi_0v25").connect(Seri­al2, function (err) {
            if (err) {
                clearLed();
            }
            console.log("Connecting to WiFi");
            wifi.connect(ssid, password, function (err) {
                if (err) {
                    clearLed();
                    throw err;
                }
                console.log("Connected");
    
                //add a delay just to make sure an IP address was obtained
                setTimeout(function () {
                    wifi.getIP(function (err, ip) {
                        if (err) {
                            clearLed();
                            throw err;
                        }
                        //console.log(ip);
                        wifiReady = true;
                        getForecast();
                    });
                }, 2000);
            });
        });
        
        setInterval(getForecast, timeout);
    
    }
    

    When I upload the code to the Pico via the IDE and type save() the code works as expected as long as the Pico is connected to the laptop. However, when I use a USB power supply to power the Pico the code does not work (I don't see any requests from the Pico on the server). So I wonder whether I got something wrong with the save() method or whether the problem still exists. Thanks!

    Thanks @Gordon! That did the trick and now it works like a charm :)

    I've just updated my ESP8266 to 0.25.0.0(Jun 12 2015 20:26:28) (returned by AT+GMR) so I guess I'm on the current version.

    I connected the ESP8266 to my Pico's Serial1 port and use a 10uF Cap between the 3.3V and GND on the ESP. When I ran the test script I got a CIPSTART fail, but after reading http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/­265995/ I added a timeout before making the call.

    Serial1.setup(115200, { rx: B7, tx : B6 });
    var wifi = require("ESP8266WiFi").connect(Serial1, function(err) {
      if (err) throw err;
      wifi.at.debug();
      wifi.reset(function(err) {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log("Connecting to WiFi");
        wifi.connect("myssid","mysecret", function(err) {
          //if (err) throw err;
          console.log("Connected");
          setTimeout(function (){
              wifi.getIP(function(err, ip) {
                console.log(err);
                console.log("ip");
                console.log(ip);
                require("http").get("http://www.pur3.co.­uk/hello.txt", function(res) {
                  console.log("Response: ",res);
                  res.on('data', function(d) {
                  console.log("--->"+d);
              });
              });
           });
          },6000);
        });
      });
    });
    

    I get the following output:

    I can ping the module on IP provided by CIFSR:STAIP but I don't get a response from the GET call.

    So I wonder what the error exactly means and how I can fix it. Thanks!
