AP does not connect with external power

[fsofras]

when I connect my esp32 to the USB port my boot.py works and I get a succesful connection to my Access point (192.168.4.1). However when I power the module with anexternal 5V power source I can not get the AP working.
Any help?
Thank you

Firstly your code should be in main.py rather than boot.py. In general it's best to have your code in a separate file, with main.py simply being a single line importing your actual code.

I would debug this by having main.py do something really simple like flashing an LED or toggling a pin. Check that it works at the REPL, then check it still works when powering from 5V. If it doesn't, I would suspect a hardware problem. If it does, you can substitute an import of your actual script in the knowledge that main.py is actually running.
