#72337 Hi guys!
I have some troubles regarding esp exceptions during code execution. I'm programming the nodeMCU 1.0 using Arduino IDE. My goal is to analog-to-digital convert some values, package them e and print on COM port. Next step is to WiFi transmit this package using TCP Client-Server protocol.

This is my code:
Code: Select all#include <SPI.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <string.h>

#define PACKET_SIZE 40

// ADC-Store-Sending variables
const int AnalogIn  = A0;
int readingIn = 0;
int sendPacket = 1;
int arrayPosition = 0;
int SignalValues[PACKET_SIZE];
//String package;

// WiFi setting
char ssid[] = "WiFiname";                    // SSID of your home WiFi
char pass[] = "yourpassword";            // password of your home WiFi

IPAddress server(192,168,137,1);              // the fix IP address of the server
WiFiClient client;                            // Setup peripheral module as a client
 
byte mac[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED};    //Byte array to specify mac address
byte ip[] = {192, 168, 1, 99};                        //Byte array to specify ip address

// Control variables
int Stop = 0;
int ledPin = 15;
const int buttonPin = 13;
int buttonState = 0;         // variable for storing pushbutton status

ADC_MODE(ADC_TOUT_3V3);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  /*WiFi.begin(ssid,pass);                                      // WiFi starts association with ssdi and password
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {                     // Print "." until devices are connected
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(500);
  }
  Serial.print("Status: "); Serial.println(WiFi.status());    // Network parameters
  Serial.print("IP: ");     Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  Serial.print("Subnet: "); Serial.println(WiFi.subnetMask());
  Serial.print("Gateway: "); Serial.println(WiFi.gatewayIP());
  Serial.print("SSID: "); Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
  Serial.print("Signal: "); Serial.println(WiFi.RSSI());
*/
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);                              // start transmission when button is pressed
 
  noInterrupts();
  attachInterrupt(buttonPin, ButtonInterrupt, RISING);    // Enable interrupt for button
  timer0_isr_init();
  timer0_attachInterrupt(timer0_ISR);
  timer0_write(ESP.getCycleCount() + 400000);
  interrupts();
}

void loop() {
  int i; String package;
  if(buttonState) {
    if(sendPacket==PACKET_SIZE) {
      for (i=0; i<PACKET_SIZE; i++){
        package = package + ' ' + String(SignalValues[i], DEC);
      }
      //client.connect(server, 6789);                         // Connection to the server
      //client.println(package + "\r");
      Serial.println("sEMG:" + package);
      sendPacket = 0;
      arrayPosition = 0;
      //client.flush();
      Stop = 1;
    }
  }
  else {
  if (Stop) {
      Serial.println("alt\r");
      //client.println("alt\r");
      delay(300);
      //client.flush();
      Stop = 0; 
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);                            // to show the communication only (inverted logic)
      }
  }
}


void timer0_ISR (void){
  if(buttonState){
    SignalValues[arrayPosition] = analogRead(AnalogIn);
    arrayPosition = arrayPosition + 1;
   
    //Serial.println(sendPacket);
    sendPacket = sendPacket + 1;
  }
  timer0_write(ESP.getCycleCount() + 800000);
}


void ButtonInterrupt()
{
  if(buttonState) {
    buttonState = 0; 
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);                            // to show the communication
    Serial.println(buttonState);  }         //debug
  else {
    buttonState = 1; 
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);                            // to show the communication
    Serial.println(buttonState);           //debug
    Serial.println("Sending..");
  }
}


the ButtonInterrupt is used to control start and stop data conversion and sending. WiFi features are commented. ADC conversion is triggered by timer interrupt.
During execution some exceptions occur with related stack; I decoded them using ESP exception decoder and the result is:

Can anyone help me to understand what is the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Fabio

#72386 Your stacktrace seems to point to the fact that your string "package" isn't initialized and you try to concatenate something to it :
Code: Select allpackage = package + ' ' + String(SignalValues[i], DEC);

You should initialize it like this :
Code: Select allString package = String("");
