NodeMCU random reboot

[mmoustache]

Hi, thanks for your project. I have an issue: flashed nodemcu with esp8266, works pretty well, but randomly reboots or stucks. All parametets saves, but random reboot still doing. I dont have no idea what is that. Using your firmware without changes , same issue on multiple nodeMCU. Maybe you have idea what is that. Thanks

The only thing that I ran into that would cause random lockups was running the sampler loop faster than about 3ms, you could try slowing that down to see if it has any effect on your problem, but I don't really think it's related because I've only seen that lock up the board not reset it. I also never really tested it much with the vtx disconnected, so maybe there is something in the vtx coms that is getting hung up and triggering the watchdog if you're just running it on a nodemcu that's not connected to anything.

Beyond that I would suspect that something has changed in one of the libraries perhaps. Arduino and the ESP support are the two probably most likely to cause problems, you could try backdating those to the versions called out in the readme, they're the last versions that I was building against so those should definitely work if anything has changed.

Thanks man. 184 IDE done it job)) dongrade to 181 and it all good.

Reboot or freeze occurs at a time when I repeatedly click on the LOW button. The receiver is connected properly, the RSDI is visible and the channels change correctly. If I do not enter the WEB interface, then everything is fine, no reloads and freezes

Made video for you with my problems. No mater there is wire or note, the picture is the same

Maybe this one from port monitor helps

After setting treshold, Wifi disconnecting and device freezing

After restarting, all setting saved, node starts, then crashes and start again and working fine. Let me to fly more then 20 laps

interesting. So is it only crashing when you're calibrating? Or just having the web interface up at all? Calibration I could see it being possibly a race condition, it should lock up while doing a relatively long calibration cycle ( 1/4 second IIRC? ) You'll want to manually wait for it to complete for sure, it's more of a debug thing and there's no protection in there.

[mmoustache]

Yep, just tested again, worked stable, im forced connect-dosconnect, start-stop session, worked OK, flying, counting- great, started calibration again and over)) stucked

282 high.
282 thresh.

[Extent421]

great, that at least narrows it down. I would recommend hardcoding the calibration values and bypassing the calibration function, or even better would be to expose the calibration values in the config page so that you can just type them in manually as needed, they shouldn't really need to change ever once you have them set up. That's what my next plan was for them.

you shouldn't need to calibrate every time it boots though, it should store the calibration data along with the internal settings as soon as each calibration step is run, so if you can just slowly get each calibration to run once (low > high > threshold) then you shouldn't need to run them again.

[mmoustache]

Yep, thanks, maybe you right, but hardcoded values is not the exit, because diffirent VTX has a Diffirent RSSI, tested. but Manual input will be the best way. Where can i write my ideas for improvement))?

[Extent421]

You could also try reducing the number of averaged samples in the calibrate function to make it complete quicker, dropping from 1000 to 100 samples would still work ok.

I've also got a logic bug in calibrateLow() it's comparing the new average against the min threshold instead of the max threshold like it should be. You'll need to fix that locally until I can make any adjustments.

[Extent421]

Auto calibrate needs to function for that reason, I just mean as a stopgap to work around the problems for now.

I guess you can put in a feature request issue so there's record of it, but I'm not actively working on it right now so the best way to get changes is just to work in your own fork.

[mmoustache]

Dropped to 100 samples, seems working more stable %)
