NodeMCU Resetting and Entering Boot Mode

#1

Hello everyone,
I have a project but my NodeMCU keeps resetting with causes 2 (even when I changed pins in order not to use D0, D2 and D8 because I read that they cause boot mode) and 4. This is causing my code to restart all over again every around 1 minute.
Exception (0):
epc1=0xc0030037 epc2=0x00000000 epc3=0x00000000 excvaddr=0x00000000 depc=0x00000000

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(D2, -1, true, 128);

char telegram[64];

int readTelegram();

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);  // 115200  256000
  mySerial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  int t = readTelegram();
  yield();
}

int readTelegram() {
  if (mySerial.available() > 0) {
    int len = 0;
    char c;
    unsigned long timeout = 2;
    unsigned long start = millis();
    while ((len < 63) && (millis() - start < timeout)) {
      c = mySerial.read();
      if  ((c == '\n') || (c == '\r')) break;
      if ((c >= 32) && (c <= 126)) {
        telegram[len++] = c;
      }
      yield();
    }
    telegram[len] = 0;
    return len;
  }
  else return 0;
}

Pin D2 is connected to my “Smart Meter”, which generates a 27 lines, all terminated with \r\n.
Each line is max 47 char long (shortest is 5 char, longest 47 char).
It is at 115200 baud, with inverted signal.
The lines are sent every 10 sec.

Sometimes there is some garbage, and sometimes no \r\n is received, so I have a timeout (2mSec) and a filter (c = 32-127).

Earlier I tried ReadBytsUntil, it also crashed.
So I now tried to write it with just read() and my own filter and timeout function.

Also tried with a shorter timeout, using micros() and a value of 500.

After running for a couple of minutes, mostly less then an hour, it crashes with a WDT reset.

i think this this is your c file change this syntax

Also please run CheckFlashConfig example and verify that your flash chip is indeed 1Mb.

Looks like you need to erase flash completely and then try CheckFlashConfig with 512K option selected.

To erase the flash, you can use esptool (the same one which is used by Arduino to upload the sketch).
Run it like this: esptool -cp <port name> -cd ck -ce . Make sure the ESP is in bootloader mode before running this command (if you are triggering it manually).

A little question, does the NodeMCU do a software reset at each void loop() iteration? I had an infinitely running recursive method which I suspect to have causing the error. I fixed it. But I still have a problem because I am using Adafruit IO and so the data on a certain feed is read again at every loop() iteration although no new data is added to the feed.

#6

CheckFlashConfig result:
Flash real id: 00164020
Flash real size: 4194304 bytes

Flash ide size: 4194304 bytes
Flash ide speed: 40000000 Hz
Flash ide mode: DIO
Flash Chip configuration ok.

So this is not a problem.

running the following code on an ESP8266 nodeMCU, the while(1) at end of loop causes a runtime error, reset (on Uno ok though):

Soft WDT reset

what is your repo link ?

#13

If you mean repository I do not have one.

#15

Can libraries be a problem? I got the git version not the boards manager one and I have libraries transferred via USB from another pc.
