Watchdog reset when using nodemcuv2-pilight and receiving rf codes.

[Ketturi]

ESP8266 crashes hard when using pilight build, and receiver is getting input (eg, by pressing kaku/nexa RF remote)

Serial console output:

Issue is present with OpenMQTTGateway 1.7.0, and also with current development version.

Hi all, I can confirm the issue. I get exactly the same crash report for the following config:

[env:nodemcuv2-pilight-pin45]
platform = espressif8266@^2
board = nodemcuv2
lib_deps =
  ${com-esp.lib_deps}
  ${libraries.wifimanager8266}
  ${libraries.esppilight}
  ${libraries.esp8266_mdns}
build_flags =
  ${com-esp.build_flags}
  '-DZgatewayPilight="Pilight"'
  '-DRF_RECEIVER_GPIO=4'
  '-DRF_EMITTER_GPIO=5'
  '-DGateway_Name="OMG_ESP8266_Pilight"'
board_build.flash_mode = dout
custom_description = Gateway using ESPilight without the need of CC1101

There are no crashes with the same config and OpenMQTTGateway 1.6.0.

Do you reproduce with the development branch ?

Try adding '-DLOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_TRACE' to your Build Arguments.

It'll dump a lot more info out to the console which might help narrow down the issue.

Thank you for your suggestions. I just tested again, but with the following config as I don't have my nodemcuv2 board with me. I used v1.7.0 and v175, both work fine. I'll test again when I'm back.

[env:nodemcuv2-pilight-pin45]
platform = espressif8266@^2
board = esp01_1m
lib_deps =
  ${com-esp.lib_deps}
  ${libraries.wifimanager8266}
  ${libraries.esppilight}
  ${libraries.esp8266_mdns}
build_flags =
  ${com-esp.build_flags}
  '-DZgatewayPilight="Pilight"'
  '-DRF_RECEIVER_GPIO=4'
  '-DRF_EMITTER_GPIO=5'
  '-DGateway_Name="OMG_ESP8266_Pilight"'
  ;'-DLOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_TRACE'
board_build.flash_mode = dout
custom_description = Gateway using ESPilight without the need of CC1101

I have tested now again with the nodemcuv2 board. I have to add to the last test that I was not aware anymore that the problem only occurs when a signal is received - so that test was completely useless.

I've now put v1.7.0 with the config:

[env:nodemcuv2-pilight-pin45]
platform = espressif8266@^2
board = nodemcuv2
lib_deps =
  ${com-esp.lib_deps}
  ${libraries.wifimanager8266}
  ${libraries.esppilight}
  ${libraries.esp8266_mdns}
build_flags =
  ${com-esp.build_flags}
  '-DZgatewayPilight="Pilight"'
  '-DRF_RECEIVER_GPIO=4'
  '-DRF_EMITTER_GPIO=5'
  '-DGateway_Name="OMG_ESP8266_Pilight"'
  '-DLOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_TRACE'
board_build.flash_mode = dout
custom_description = Gateway using ESPilight without the need of CC1101

The output is:

However, compilation of the development branch fails with:

In file included from .../OpenMQTTGateway/main/main.ino:89:0:
.pio/libdeps/nodemcuv2-pilight-pin45/PicoMQTT/src/PicoMQTT.h:8:2: error: #error PicoMQTT requires ESP8266 board core version >= 3.1
 #error PicoMQTT requires ESP8266 board core version >= 3.1

I have not yet figured out how to change that version. Log also says some old version is used (in case this is the version related to the error) although platformio.ini lists a much newer version.
