Enc28j60 Hangs or freeze

[inationit]

Hi, i am a newbee... i have been trying to connect ENC28j60 with ESP 32s .. CS Pin 14. i m able to communicate with my HMI with IP 192.168.1.100 and getting modbus tcp replies from it.. after running for 7 hours it freezes while sending the modbus request data to the HMI. currently i am using WDT to reset if the system if it is not responding for more than 2 minutes... i am trying to poll for every one minute... no memory leaks... here is my code.. (removed the WDT part)..

#include <EthernetENC.h>
#include <SPI.h>

//modbus tcp
const int MODBUS_CONNECT_ERROR = -10;
const int MODBUS_NO_RESPONSE = -11;
const byte FNC_READ_REGS = 0x03;
const byte FNC_WRITE_SINGLE = 0x06;

byte mac[] = { 0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDE, 0x02 };
const int ETH_CS_PIN = 14;

  Ethernet.init(ETH_CS_PIN);
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, DNSServer, subnet);
  ethernet_connect();
}

int tests(Client &client) {
  short regs[16];
  int res = modbusRequest(client, 1, 0, 8, regs);
  if (res != 0)
    return res;
  return 0;

    Serial.print(' ');
    bt_data += String(request[i], HEX);
  }
  Serial.println("");

  unsigned long Eth_currentMillis = millis(); // store the current time

  client.write(request, sizeof(request));

hello. if you use the version from Library Manager, please try GitHub master version. there is one fix

[inationit]

i have downloaded the master version (this version) of yours from github and implemented in my device.. will let you know if the issues still persists or not.. thanks a lot for a quick reply....

Update: 12 hrs no hanging issues as of now...

[inationit]

Hi it seems issue got solved…. It’s been running for more than 42 hours now… thanks for your support …

[JAndrassy]

thank you for the feedback.

[JAndrassy]

version 2.0.3 with the fix should be available in Library Manager in a few hours
