ESP32-C3 mini

And these two as well, also blaming faulty supermini boards which I was using:

Just tried a board @MaBe supplied with no USB on it, and it works great. You just need to stop the Ap first with stopAP:

var wifi = require("Wifi");
wifi.stopAP()

WIFI_NAME="xx";
WIFI_OPTIONS={password:"xxx"};

function get(url) {
  var http = require("http");
  http.get(url, function(res) {
    res.on('data', function(data) {
      console.log(data);
    });
  });
}

wifi.connect(WIFI_NAME, WIFI_OPTIONS, function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("Connection error: "+err);
    return;
  }
  console.log("Connected!");
  get("http://www.pur3.co.uk/hello.txt");
});

Or once you've done wifi.save() to save the wifi state, the automatic AP won't start.

... but I've now pushed a change which automatically stops the AP if connect is called (on C3) and vice versa, so normal code should work on the C3 now.

assuming you don't have a broken ESP32C3 supermini board
