import adafruit_requests as requests
from secrets import secrets
wifi.radio.connect(secrets["ssid"], secrets["password"])

Nice work Scott!! I just downloaded and built after Dan’s merges and it seems to be working.

I usually change into ports/espressif/esp-idf and do git log to see the current commit. I’m getting the crash too. Will be looking into it shortly.
