Problem:
Too high idle current
The idle current of an ESP-01S module is 90mA (@5V, with programming adapter).

Root cause:
According to the micropython WLAN tutorial , WLAN (WiFi) is always enabled.

Solution (.py):

from network import WLAN
WLAN(0).active(0)
WLAN(1).active(0)

Result:
The idle current decreases to 35mA (@5V, with programming adapter).

Problem:
Most of the "LoRaWAN 868 MHz antenna"'s are in deed 900 MHz P-GSM antennas.

Solution:
Measure the SWR with NanoVNA.
The results are in Messung "868 MHz"-Antennen

Error:
Networks with channel number 12 or channel number 13 were not found.

Problem:
As default, only "worldwide allowed channels" 1..11 are configured.

Solution:
start_channel = 1
stop_channel = 13
wifi.radio.start_scanning_networks(start_channel=start_channel, stop_channel=stop_channel)


Error:
"Kernel driver is active, or device is claimed by second instance of librtlsdr.
In the first case, please either detach or blacklist the kernel module
(dvb_usb_rtl28xxu), or enable automatic detaching at compile time."

Problem:
Raspberry Pi OS "bookworm" (Debian version 12) ignores /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Solution:
cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON -DDETACH_KERNEL_DRIVER=ON
