Thanks!



OK. It ran 2 hours and 25 minutes on a one minute cycle using node.dsleep() after sending the temperature.

Then it went into zombie mode.

GPIO is now oscillating from 0.8 to 3.15 volts at 25 MHz. Looks more like sine wave than square, but it's a 25 year old old scope, so not trustworthy at that frequency.

Current draw is about 20 mA (including LED).

Only connections are power and CH_PD.

ESP-01 board.

Hope that helps.

Look forward to hearing some feedback.

#8880 I'm trying to reproduce the problem myself, not happened yet!

To help keep us all on the same page, can we use a pre-built firmware? I've suggested that the problem occurs with nodemcu_512k_20141222.bin and nodemcu_20150126.bin - is it reproduced in the latest one also?

EEVblog forum member LabSpokane has suggested it would help to capture the scope trace and a photo of the setup? Can anyone with a scope oblige?

Thanks!!

#8882 @gwizz: Can confirm.
I've linked you 2 osci. photos down there. The frequency is exactly 26 MHz. (the crystals freq.).

@GeoNomad: Yep, you're right.

Please be aware: These measurements have been done without any termination. (the real voltage is probably lower)
