Some weeks nothing seems to go right, and I appear to be having one this week all I’m trying to do is create a static IP address.
I have tried all sorts of permutations and obviously missing something
I have gone back to basics and tried using one of the examples.
and even this fails to connect I have tried three brand-new boards and there is no difference with any of them
no connection at this point
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
Any suggestions
