Previously, I successfully created a Wi-Fi hotspot utilizing a Raspberry Pi 4 (RPi4) with the RaspAp software and established a connection with an ESP32 device using the network library in MicroPython through the Thonny Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
However, upon transitioning to the RPi5 and installing the Debian Desktop version, I encountered an issue with the Wi-Fi hotspot configuration. Unlike the previous setup, the network manager of the Debian Desktop version offers an option to create a hotspot using WPA security. Nevertheless, the hotspot generated provides an SSID and PIN instead of a conventional password. Regrettably, when I attempted to integrate this SSID and PIN into the MicroPython code running on the ESP32 device, the connection proved unsuccessful.
I am seeking guidance and expertise to understand why this discrepancy exists and what adjustments may be necessary to facilitate the successful connection between the ESP32 device and the Wi-Fi hotspot generated by the RPi5.
