Problem: io.emit after socket.on | ESP8266 & nodejs

[sterngefeuert]

Hi,

thank you very much for providing your library. Everything I'm doing works just fine expect one problem:

I send a JSON every 500ms. I'm receiving the data on my nodejs server but as soon as I want to emit the data instantly it suddenly stops. (it works 4 to 6 times before it freezes).

Arduino:

void sendJSONdata() {
  StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer;
  String JSON;
  JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.createObject();
  root["id"] = sensorId;
  root["name"] = sensorName;
  JsonObject& data = root.createNestedObject("data");
  data.set("timestamp", millis());
  data.set("pleth", ESP8266TrueRandom.random(0, 100));
  data.set("peakToPeak", ESP8266TrueRandom.random(300, 600));
  data.set("bpm", ESP8266TrueRandom.random(80, 120));
  data.set("spo2", ESP8266TrueRandom.random(96, 100));
  root.printTo(JSON);
  Serial.println(JSON);
  client.sendJSON("JSON", JSON);
}

JavaScript

  socket.on('JSON', function (data) {
       var jsonStr = JSON.stringify(data);
       //var parsed = ParseJson(jsonStr);
     io.emit("test", data);
 });

I would be very grateful if you have an idea to this issue. I reached my limits.

If you can send several times before it freezes I would suspect a memory overflow. If you don't need the large buffer i would make it smaller.

Hi, it could very well be a memory issue When you compile / transfer to the ESP, how much flash and RAM is in use?

have you tried increasing the delay from 500 to maybe 5000 how soon does it crash?

Thank you for your quick response and your ideas. I tried what you mentioned but it could not solve my problem. For now I found my solution in using websocket rooms. Overall your library is helping me a lot! :D graze mille.

Hi, sorry it didnt work but im glad you found a workaround another question, which exact board are you using?

where are you emitting the data? back to the ESP8266?

I’m using a WeMos D1 mini. But everything works just fine now.

I’m emitting data from various ESPs to a web application which joins its own room.
