@wile1411 wile1411 released this 13 Mar 10:09

I'm in AU and it's only 9pm here, but I'm sure I'll keep tinkering until past midnight - so I'm using tomorrow date for the release number.

A few things in this release:
Changed the Wifi connect method to for scan networks first
Once it finds any/all Access Point (AP) with the nominated SSID, it'll attempt to connect to the AP with the strongest signal
(I have no idea why the Wifi library doesn't do that by default)

Debugging greatly improved so you should know why you are not connecting now
(You need to be looking at the logs via a serial connection)

It's a known thing that a low Wifi signal strength with cause the MQTT connection to drop to the Bambu lab printer.
I've not dived into the MQTT connection logic as yet (let me stuff up, then fix things, one issue at a time)

Thank you to anyone that tests this and reports back on the Discord server.
