Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (Interrupt wdt timeout on CPU1)

[fanlessfan]

Hello,

the ULPSound is fantastic. But I got error "Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed" when I try the stereo sound for a minute or two. the Mono example is perfect. I tried to change the sound for Mono. it's perfect when it's short and got the same error if it's long.

Could you give some advice ?

thx

after around 30 seconds it keep rebooting. I have to press the reset button to have it work for anther 30s. Please see the serial logs bellow.

thx

I integrated this code in ESP8266Audio. You might try that. https://github.com/earlephilhower/ESP8266Audio/pull/340

[fanlessfan]

Thank you @Martin-Laclaustra. Could you point me which sample is using the ULP sound? https://github.com/earlephilhower/ESP8266Audio/tree/master/examples

[Martin-Laclaustra]

These are the generic instructions:

//Instructions:
AudioOutputULP out = new AudioOutputULP(); // stereo
//Connect left channel on pin 25
//Connect right channel on pin 26
//OR
//Connect mono channel on either of them (stereo samples are downmixed)
AudioOutputULP out = new AudioOutputULP(1); // mono, only DAC 1
//OR
AudioOutputULP out = new AudioOutputULP(2); // mono, only DAC 2

Just pick any example, include the AudioOutputULP.h file and replace the output object.

I would recommend starting with: PlayWAVFromPROGMEM.ino

Replace line 10 with #include "AudioOutputULP.h"

Then replace line 17 as follows: AudioOutputULP *out; and line 28: out = new AudioOutputULP();

[fanlessfan]

Thank you @Martin-Laclaustra. I successfully run your talkingClock with AudioOutputULP, but it keep rebooting again if I use timer to call the sound every minute. Do you think ULP works with timer call?

thx

[Martin-Laclaustra]

It seems that you are trying to run too many instructions within the timer interrupt. Use the timer only to modify a system-wide flag. Check that flag in the main loop and act accordingly to its status.

[fanlessfan]

Thanks @Martin-Laclaustra. do you think what is the best way to implement talkingClock to let it speak every hour or any pre-configured interval if we can't use timer to call the saytime() function. I am currently use timer call every minute to update the clock handles in a VGA monitor.

[Martin-Laclaustra]

Use CronAlarms, which runs by pooling in the main loop (without interrupts). You can set several Alarms (so you can have one for every minute to update the display and one for every hour to say the time). Check the issues section to find tips on how to operate it with the SDK NTP system. Isn't a VGA monitor permanently on overkill for a clock project? Are you using ESP32Lib? (In the later case, use the development branch, and include ESP32Video.h instead of the whole ESP32Lib.h because you will be controlling the sound with a different library)

[fanlessfan]

Thank you @Martin-Laclaustra for the suggestion. Yes I use ESP32Lib and have remove the audio part from it. only include ESP32Video.h is very good suggestion. I just want to re-use a dust-covered monitor so far. not sure if it's permanent on or not ;-o)
