Setting Up WiFi using myCobot 280 M5

Hello,

I am trying to set up my 280 M5 to connect to WiFi using the set_ssid_pwd() function on my Windows computer. I am afraid I cannot find any instructions on how to do this on your GitBook or any documentation. I derived the usage below based on your coding comments.

from pymycobot.mycobot import MyCobot
import time

print("   Activating Cobot...")
mc = MyCobot('COM3', 115200)
mc.power_on()
time.sleep(5)
print("   Cobot is now active.")

mc.set_ssid_pwd("wifi_ssid", "wifi_password")

print(mc.get_ssid_pwd())

This is using pymycobot version 2.8.1 and miniRobot version 2.0. Is this correct? If so, the get_ssid_pwd() function is printing an empty list, and the WiFi credentials are not being sent to the cobot.

Output:

   Activating Cobot...
   Cobot is now active.
[]

Update 7/28/2022: I have only gotten this to work once, but the cobot was still unable to connect to WiFi. All other attempts to set up a WiFi connect have still failed. See the debug output below.
