DigiX WiFi not connecting to my AP

Pete, yeah tried entering my AP SSID manually and not from the pick list, then entered the password, save/restart and still no luck. Just doesn't get an IP address. I'll be able to try this with the router that the DigiX worked with before on Monday (PST).

In the meantime, I have a Digispark Pro WiFi shield in the bag that I believe has a similar WiFi chip. I'll solder that up an see how it behaves. If you look at the Digispark Pro WiFI shield module first time setup http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/wififirstsetup it shows the IP assigned to it after going through the configuration setup and restart. We'll see what it does against my router.

Hm... since you reminded me about the Digispark Pro wifi... I double checked... and yes, I did get that... it was that and the GPS that interested me with the Pro, since it had extra flash and SRAM. So I just soldered it up, and yes, for me at least, it is doing exactly what it should do... i.e. there is an IP address after the reboot when in AP+STA mode. I'll send you a file  of the screen recording via PM, so you can see what happened... from the first boot of the wifi.

Pete, soldered up the Digispark Pro and Pro Wifi shield and was able to get an IP from my router. Interestingly though, when I connected the Digispark Pro to my PC via USB to upload it, I was getting flash write errors more often than not. When it did upload the blink program would not run. I thought, great another problem to chase. So I connected it to my laptop and no problem. I'm wondering if the power from my PC USB port is marginal.

OK, so now I'm go ahead and put the regulator on the DigiX so that I can power it from USB or barrel jack instead of the 3.3V rail and try different power sources. MCU is still off the board but it's not needed to configure the Wifi section.

UPDATE:
Yeah... It's a head scratch. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Does not get an IP address (while the Digispark Pro Wifi shield does.).  I feel, like I'm hearding cats. I guess I could replace the radio, but not before I get the MCU down.

 I put this aside for now and see what's up with the Digispark on my PC USB port. Always something to chase. Meanwhile my project sits and waits.

OK, Here is the latest in my attempt to figure out why I can't get an IP for the DigiX WIFI from my main router....

Did a test with another (spare) router where I set it up to have no security. This router with security would show the DigiX MAC but no IP when security was enabled. Without security got an IP no problem. So now I'm wondering what the problem could be. Pretty sure (very sure) that my WIFI credentials for the main router were correct. Used that same config to successfully connect the Digispark pro WIFI shield to the main router. So what the bleep is going on?

Not going to drop security on my main router.

Thoughts... ideas?

When you had issues, was the wifi SSID hidden?  I've never gotten a wireless microcontroller to connect to one.
