[Ovmsdev] Time for release 3.2.016?

Mon Feb 15 23:49:14 HKT 2021

Steve,

did you run my latest change there? If so, was that with default timing 
or with a changed configuration?

A full scan now takes ~ 2 seconds with default timing on my modules, so 
I guess you still had the old version running.

Also, the AP isn't taken down, and the WiFi module should of course send 
a beacon between the channels, but it's unfortunately closed source, so 
we can only guess what it does there from the effects observed. With 
scanning for up to the 500 ms per channel, my guess was that became too 
long for your tablet.

We only scan if no client network is connected, so while you're in your 
home network, it won't scan.

Please try again with default scan timing.

Regards,
Michael
