Hi all,
Let me say I am a complete noobie to all this web stuff.

I would like to use my mobile to telnet to a Pico W.

I have setup a hotspot on my phone and have an SSID and password.
On a brand new Pico W I have loaded - WebMite MMBasic Version 5.07.08RC4
and setup the WIFI an option list shows:-

WebMite MMBasic Version 5.07.08RC4
OPTION WIFI AndroidAPc620, ********, PICOE6614C311B5

From Telnet on win 10.

If I now repower the Pico from a USB charger I can not connect from the Android phone. I have tried 3 different clients (Phone WIFI disabled and hotspot enabled).

Has anyone suceeded doing this, if so what app did you use?

The pico is not as robust as a standard PC in regard of wireless connection. Possibly you have to check the network connectivity inside the pico and do a reconnect in the case that there is no connection.

Sub Connect
Do While MM.Info(TCPIP STATUS) <> 3
If Timer > 6000 Then CPU restart
Loop
Print "IP: ";MM.Info(ip address)
End Sub

so "Connect" checks if 6 seconds after reboot/powerup there is no connection then it will restart the pico. Often the second try is successfull.

I have put the Connect sub into the library of the pico - so it is always available.
