I have been in the computer engineering / software engineering / computer science for quite a bit.

I have a pico w and am trying to use the 1.44 lcd pico display.

Display is working fine, but I can not get WIFI to connect when using the display. If I give the incorrect SSID / PASSWORD the connect attempt times out properly.

But when I give the correct information the pico wifi connect jams.

I have narrowed this down so that when I don’t include the LCD software and use a PICO that does not have the hardware plugged in, it works fine.

I need some help on this or I will have to return items since this is simply not a good solution.

I have seen on the net that some others are complaining about WaveShare items and WIFI, this is strange, etc. with no fixes that I can see for Pico W

Has anyone else seen this issue.

Tried using C and C++ compiles, same results
Tried with the LCD WIFI jams with proper SSID and Password for blocking WIFI connect.
Tried without the LCD works as expected.
