I received a normal, BW16 in a kit, assembled it and have used it as a WiFi scanner works well. I purchased a few MINI BW16 from Aliexpress, they are smaller form factor however they have a lot of problems with WiFi. I can upload a WiFi scanner program to the normal unit shows networks as expected, however the same program uploaded to MINI BW16 does not show any networks. I have attached a picture of the mini unit.
Hi @Scientifik, All Realtek official boards are available in this link. Thank you.
Lets run some wifi demo to see if it is a HW issue？ BW16 Arduino — Ameba Arduino AIoT Documentation v1.1 documentation
I’m not sure what demo you would like me to run, I am running the wifi example already
Hi @Scientifik, test with others WiFi example to check between normal BW16 and mini BW16 if most of it are not work with the mini BW16. Probably there is some HW issues on the mini BW16.
I said that in my first post.
This BW16 Arduino — Ameba Arduino AIoT Documentation v1.1 documentation is still under development. You can refer @KaiFai_Y 's Github to find all WiFi demos.
If the normal BW16 works fine, I suggest it is your HW connection and circuit design issue for the mini board. You can refer to Ameba ARDUINO – Realtek IoT/Wi-Fi MCU Solutions for some HW documents for BW16https://docs.ai-thinker.com/_media/bw16-kit_specification-v1.2.2-en.pdf
