- Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:07 am #94035 Hello. I am trying to connect my NodeMCU to my laptop using TCP/IP. After connecting, the laptop issues some address values. The NodeMCU reads the corresponding byte in flash memory and prints it.
Here is the code:

Code: Select all#include <SPI.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

byte ledPin = 2;
char ssid[] = "******";           // SSID of your home WiFi
char pass[] = "*******";            // password of your home WiFi
const char* host = "<ip>";  // IP serveur - Server IP
const int   port = 4000;            // Port serveur - Server Port
const int   watchdog = 500;        // Fréquence du watchdog - Watchdog frequency
unsigned long previousMillis = millis();
unsigned long askTimer = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);               // only for debug
  WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);             // connects to the WiFi router
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(500);
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to wifi");
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  Serial.println("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop () {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // to show the communication only (inverted logic)
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
  WiFiClient client;
//  WiFiClient client;
  if (!client.connect(host, port)){
      Serial.println("connection failed");
      client.stop();
      return;
    }
// Watch dog to keep some time gap
  if ( currentMillis - previousMillis > watchdog ){
    previousMillis = currentMillis;
    while (client.available() == 0){
      Serial.println("Here test");
    }

    while(client.available()){
      String line = client.readStringUntil('\r');
      line.trim();
      long tmp = line.toInt();
      uint32_t incomingValue = (uint32_t)tmp;
      Serial.println(incomingValue);
      uint32_t data;
      ESP.flashRead(incomingValue, &data, 1);
      String x = String(data, HEX);
      Serial.println(x.substring(x.length()-2, x.length()));
    }
  }
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  delay(2000);
}


After a connection is established, and about 60-100 rounds of communication between the server and NodeMCU, the NodeMCU throws a LoadProhibited Exception (Exception 28). On decoding the error stack message, I found the error is in the line if(!client.connect(host, port)). The addresses being issued by the server are well within flash memory limit, so we can safely ignore that. Can anyone tell me what the issue might be?

Here is the exception stack:

Exception (28):
epc1=0x401013a2 epc2=0x00000000 epc3=0x00000000 excvaddr=0x00000000 depc=0x00000000
