create droplet ssh not connecting

I have a script that starts a droplet and runs through till everything is installed.
I am checking for a response on SSH to decide if the server is ready to start loading software.

new_droplet=$(curl -X POST "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets" \
	-d'{"name":"jeffsproject","region":"nyc3","size":"s-1vcpu-2gb","image":"ubuntu-18-04-x64","ssh_keys":['$SSH_ID'],"user_data":null}' \
	-H "Authorization: Bearer $DO_TOKEN" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json")

echo " Create new droplet"
set -xv
new_droplet_id=$(echo $new_droplet | jq .droplet.id)
while [[ ${new_droplet_id} == "null" ]] ; do
	sleep 10
  	new_droplet_id=$(echo $new_droplet | jq .droplet.id)
	echo "droplet failed"
done
echo $new_droplet_id | jq .


while [[ ${droplet_status} != "active" ]] ; do
	sleep 10
	new_droplet_details=$(curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DO_TOKEN" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/${new_droplet_id}")

	new_droplet_ip=$(echo $new_droplet_details | jq -r .droplet.networks.v4[1].ip_address)
	droplet_status=$(echo $new_droplet_details | jq -r .droplet.status)
	export DROPLET_IP=$new_droplet_ip
done

while [[ $ssh_ready != 0 ]] ;
do
	sleep 5
	ssh_ready=$(ssh -vvv -o BatchMode=yes -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o ConnectTimeout=5 root@$new_droplet_ip echo '0')
   	echo "Trying again..."
	echo $ssh_ready
done

 its  pretty basic  stuff.   My  token and  ssh  ID are  in my environment
