The wifi environment at my home causes reboots when the pixel kit is in the "blue screen" mode. This makes it very difficult to set up or use the pixel kit. As a workaround, to set up, I had to enclose the pixel kit in a faraday cage (an empty metal container), and use "thonny", configured as esp32. The metal container prevents the rebooting. I then pasted into the thonny shell/terminal: saveWifiConf('MySSID', 'MyWifiPassword')
and opened the container. The pixel kit rebooted, and after a bit came up stably on wifi.
I have multiple pixel kits. All of them show this continual-reboot behavior when reflashed. All of them that I tested appear to work correctly once configured inside a metal container. These kits include one device that was successfully used with this particular micropython version previously.
The only odd network device(s) I can think of that have been added to the environment since the original kit worked correctly is a mesh network, MeshForce M3.
I am attaching a partial log of one of the kits continuously booting, crashing, and rebooting.
