Beyond v1.5.0 doesn't work on PyPortal Titano

[IanBurwell]

Problem

I followed the instructions to update the ESP32 firmware on the PyPortal Titano from here and found that any release after v1.5.0 cannot connect to wifi (using this code), producing the below error. I am not sure, but this might be similar to #47. The reason for my attempt at an update was due to the ESP stopping responding after a few hours of infrequent use and requiring a reboot (possibly this issue).

could not connect to AP, retrying: ('Failed to connect to ssid', b'asdfasdf')

Setup

• Pyportal Titano (CP 7.3.1)
• Integrated ESP32 (FW 1.6.0-1.7.4)
