WiFi stuck in connect loop

[WL-Richards]

Describe the bug The WiFi module appears to get stuck in an infinite connection loop, sometimes it sleeps and then only trys to connect to WiFi and then immediately goes back to sleep. Other times it just infinitely retrties to connect as shown in screenshots below

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Code In the Arduino IDE while editing the main.ino, goto 'Edit' -> 'Copy for HTML' and paste the output of that here

Output Copy and paste the serial output here if possible wrapped in ``` ```

Hardware in use: Full WeatherChimes devices, both the 9-18-2023 and the Whisp v0.4 pcb versions have this issue.

To reproduce: Run a WeatherChimes device with the current code sample on the mqtt-network-component branch of loom. There is no guarantee that this bug will occur, as it has not happened with every WeatherChime running this code, and the lengths of time that the devices that had this bug ran properly before the bug appeared vary widely.

Expected behavior: The WeatherChimes should continue to run (sample data and log the data to the SD card) once every 15 minutes. The output should look like the first image without the highlighted text.

Code:

/**
 * In lab use case example for the WeatherChimes project
 * 
 * This project uses SDI12, TSL2591 and an SHT31 sensor to log environment data and logs it to both the SD card and also MQTT/MongoDB
 * 
 * MANAGER MUST BE INCLUDED FIRST IN ALL CODE

May have something to do with mismanaging how wifi gets disabled or enabled going to sleep/wakeup.

[CaseyJ37]

I think the issue might be that connecting to WiFi is the first thing it tries to do when it wakes up, and maybe it needs to do the other initialization steps first.
