      Hello there,
      My project has a wifi connection and the set up looks like this:
      My question:

      • how to prioritize networks? If two network is avaible, prefer one then the other. In this setup it goes the first in the ABC.
      • I added a block if no known network found, then sleep for minute and search again. But somehow always goes to the else part. Can you hint why?
      • Is there a tool to debug the micropython code? It would be helpful sometimes
      • do you have any other tips? Thanks in advance! :)
      while not wlan.isconnected():
          for net in nets:
              if net.ssid == '******':
                  print(str(net.ssid)+" found!")
                  lcd.putstr(str(net.ssid)+" found!")
                  wlan.connect("******", auth=(WLAN.WPA2, "*****"), timeout=5000) 
              elif net.ssid == '***':
                  print(str(net.ssid)+" found!")
                  lcd.putstr(str(net.ssid)+" found!")
                  wlan.connect("***", auth=(WLAN.WPA2, "*******"), timeout=5000)
              elif net.ssid == '******':
                  print(str(net.ssid)+" found!")
                  lcd.putstr(str(net.ssid)+" found!")
                  wlan.connect("******", auth=(WLAN.WPA2, "*********"), timeout=5000)
              else:
                  lcd.clear()
                  lcd.putstr("No network, sleeping for 1 min")
                  lcd.move_to(0, 1)
                  lcd.backlight_off()
                  machine.deepsleep(60000)
                  machine.reset()
