Wemos D1 Mini - Watchdog Reset #68

Closed canadiansteve closed 6 years ago

canadiansteve commented 6 years ago

I have had McLighting working great with a couple of ESP8266-01 modules. I have 3 new Wemos D1 Mini's and figured it would be a pretty easy switch over.

Unfortunately, I can install the software, configure an access point, get to the point of having the webserver go live and then Watchdog crashes the device and, even with a powerdown, it will not reboot until reflashed.

The serial traffic indicates:

WM: WM: AutoConnect WM: Connecting as wifi client... WM: Using last saved values, should be faster WM: Connection result: WM: 3 WM: IP Address: *WM: 192.168.1.130 connected...yeey :) Open http://192.168.1.130/ to open McLighting. Use http://ESP8266_01.local/ when you have Bonjour installed. New users: Open http://192.168.1.130/upload to upload the webpages first.

wdt reset

From the research I have been doing, this appears to be a H/W issue but I cannot seem to identify any source of issue. Does anyone have experience getting McLighting to work on the Wemos chips?

Thanks.

I flashed a Wemos d1 mini from own-written code to McLighting OTA so I didn't see the serial output but I also experienced resets. Now I use this and it works.

I seem to have resolved the issue and suspect there was some flash corruption in a previous upload that McLighting was not overwriting. After, first, identifying that I likely have a Chinese knockoff WeMos and that my flash is only 1MB rather than the expected 4MB, I was able to clear the flash entirely and reload McLighting without issue.

Thank you to all the devs for the excellent software.

Great that you made it work. I also had problems with some bad quality wemos boards in another project. Newer wemos boards also often need the DIO flash mode. Regards Tobias

Hello, I have the same issue with my WEMOS. I program with arduino IDE and put "wemos D1 R1". The output (serial.monitor ) are not ok. And the selection from the web page works but the leds does not changed. So I swith to use nodemcu from the arduino IDE and at the moment the trace in serial.monitor are ok. But I can not see my leds changing also.

So what I have to do ? to clean the firmware? The wemos is new . I tried with 2 wemos. Same result. They are chinese from aliexpress. so clean the firmware and write only in 1M. But how to do this. I use wemos D1 R1. Do I have to change. I can see also LOLIN (Wemos D1...). I need some tips. Thanks again for this fantastic program. I did some months ago another project with your program. Now it is to install in the kitchen.
