Are you using one of the esp32spi examples within https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_AzureIoT/tree/main/examples/azureiot_esp32spi?

Hi,
Using the latest sample again.
Had to change line 32 to:
spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK1, board.MOSI1, board.MISO1)

Error message:
Connecting to WiFi...
Connected to WiFi!
Getting the time...
Time: 1653632230
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "adafruit_azureiot/iot_mqtt.py", line 17, in
ImportError: no module named 'ssl

Looking at the CircuitPython download page for RP2040 (https://circuitpython.org/board/arduino_nano_rp2040_connect/), no SSL module is included in the build.

Might this the root cause?

Regards // Henrik

I think this got modified by @jimbobbennett, ssl is a non-native module for ESP32-SPI ("AirLift") hardware but is native for specific boards (native WiFi)
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_AzureIoT/blob/main/adafruit_azureiot/iot_mqtt.py#L17

We'd need to make a pull request to better handle this within

I'm running into this issue as well with a PyPortal after looking into this post on the forums: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?p=944133

I added a try/except in iot_mqtt.py and device_registration.py for importing SSL

try: import ssl except ImportError: pass

And that at least gets past the SSL import error. However, in device_registration.py, during self._mqtt = MQTT.MQTT() SSL is called with ssl_context=ssl.create_default_context(). I added an additional try/except for that:

try: self._mqtt = MQTT.MQTT( broker=constants.DPS_END_POINT, username=username, password=auth_string, port=8883, keep_alive=120, client_id=self._device_id, ssl_context=ssl.create_default_context(), ) except NameError: self._mqtt = MQTT.MQTT( broker=constants.DPS_END_POINT, username=username, password=auth_string, port=8883, keep_alive=120, is_ssl=True, client_id=self._device_id, )

And the PyPortal does attempt a connection with Azure. However, it seems to lock up at this step:

`744.949: DEBUG - Receiving SUBSCRIBE

and does not retry after three seconds. When I do a KeyboardInterrupt, this is the printout to the REPL:

It seems like maybe something is locking up in esp32spi or perhaps the MQTT() function needs to be modified differently in device_registration.py?

hihi @dhalbert - this is the issue I was talking about last night in the meeting
