I really have no idea why i'm having so many issues with the sparkfun ESP shield. So, I stopped using the sparkfun ESP shield and switched back to soldering the shim v2 of the esp shim to the pico. I soldered 0.1" Female Headers to the ESP through hole section of the shim. Luckly I chose that method instead of soldering the ESP directory to the shim, because the first ESP I had for whatever reason wouldn't work. I swapped it out for another ESP and it worked as expected :-)
I'm hoping that by using the female headers, it will allow me to stay up to date with the new ESPs and swap them out for future R&D.
