Pixl.js with Wifi (ESP8266 ESP01s) - SOLVED

@Robin
'save()' is not affecting anything. Sorry I mentioned it. you can ignore it. I was simply trying to share that it seemed to work for a second or two.

day 1 - working flawlessly for hours. Went to sleep happy.
day 2 - not working all day (no changes. getting error: "No 'ready' after AT+RST")
day 3 - still not working all day. I try different things. No go. try one silly thing. It worked. Did a "Save()" then power cycled it (turned it off then on again) it no longer works. Try a bunch of things and cannot get it to connect to ANY network any time any where.

Here's the code:

var WIFI_NAME = "ValidWIfiSSID";
var WIFI_PASS = "CorrectPassword";
D9.set(1); // power on
Serial1.setup(115200,{rx:D0,tx:D1});
console.log("starting wifi");
var wifi = require("ESP8266WiFi_0v25").connect(Serial1, function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("oh no" + err);
    throw err;
  }
  LED1.write(1);
  LED2.write(0);
  console.log("Connecting to WiFi");
  wifi.connect(WIFI_NAME, WIFI_PASS, function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;

    // I don't get past here. I error out

    LED1.write(0);
    LED2.write(1);
    console.log("Connected");
    getPrice(); // I get the price of bitcoin and display it.
    setInterval(function (){
        getPrice(); // get it and display it
    },120000);

  });
});
