Espruino Wifi - Dropped characters at runtime

Posted on Sun 10th, September 2017

Simple programs such as blink seem to transfer and run just fine, but I'm working with some Wifi and Http code that is significantly longer and it doesn't seem to transfer correctly. Log is below. The hardware is relatively new, but it worked correctly for about a day.

Steps I've tried so far to resolve:

Unplugged it and plugged it back in again (yea, I worked in IT, gotta start there)
Used another USB cable
Turned on "Throttle Send" in the settings
Commented out large chunks, and the error moved to another line

Environment:

Espruino Web IDE used as Chrome App

Mac OSX 10.12.6

...this seems to be a recurring issue... I'm sure you found this conversation about Espruino Serial Terminal drops characters., and you find more posts.

I suspect the issue is that Espruino is already working on some code while the upload is still going on. Therefore I always and strongly suggest not to do anything directly executing, such as .connect() and setInterval() in upload... sometimes even not require(). All the execution stuff goes into the onInit() or a function that is called from within onInit().

I don't know what board you are on, but sometimes processing resources get scarce.

Another option to speed-up your upload is to make modules out of pieces of your code and stick them into the modules folder in your sandbox folder - mified... (using google's online Web service, where you paste the module source code and you get back the minified code, which you stick into the same named file with .min.js suffix).

I hope this helps... I just recently made a similar app where an Espruino-Wifi is the sensor operating application, stepper motor controlling application, the Wifi Access Point, AND the http/s Web server... and it all works just perfect.

I'm pretty sure it's exactly as @allObjects says... Keep all your function declarations where they are, but stick the code that does stuff (Wifi connection, OneWire) in a function called onInit and then call that with setTimeout(onInit, 1000) right at the end of your code.

It's a bit strange I know, but it's probably what you'll have to do when you go to save code to Flash memory, because you'll want certain bits of code (like Wifi connect) to run when power is applied (in onInit) rather than at upload time, which is where they're running at the moment.

Thanks for the thoughtful replies, totally cleared things up. I was just thrown off a bit by the docs. I only had a brief introduction to arduino itself, so I had totally blanked out on the lifecycle event handling on board power on and jumped right into the code.

That said, I think the espruino docs themselves are a bit light on the reminders to put more than the most bare bones examples into a proper init method and make sure things are loaded. Was there a tech article that I missed that gives some advice there that I missed? If not I'd be game to try and write one out myself, are open source contributions to the docs encouraged?

allObjects

@KevinJ, you are right that in the docs the simple example code doe somewhat solicit a practice that then fails on larger applications. Initially though, I'm sure @Gordon had in mind it would work all the way thru, because last but not least, he went thru all the hoops to save the system's state down to the configuration and active timeouts, intervals, and watches. As said, with small things and simple one-time initializations this works all just fine... Complicating the examples is not the answer, but doing nothing either. May be adding a page with multiple things that need initialization and initializations with dependencies and adding a link in the simple examples to that page would be nice. All Espruino sub projects - including the documentation - is on github... you can clone it, make additions and enhancements and ask for merge requests.

May be you came across the conversation about simple explanation how to save code that espruino run on start?, where pist #8 and #18 contribaute 2 times 2 cents about code life cycle in Espruino environment.

Espruino programming concept is quite different from Arduino... even though deep under the hood both work with events, but only Espruino brings it 'easy' (easier?) to understand into the application realm.

Coming from Browser / JavaScript programming with interfacing with DOM and XHTML Request and Sockets, Espruiono is not much different. It is just not common place to have such a high-level and easy-going language available to deal with micro controller hardware.

I think there's a bit at the end of the 'quick start' about onInit and initialisation, but yes - the docs are a bit light on reminders. Especially for the Wifi board, the documentation should really start off using onInit.

If you find something particular that you think should change, it'd be great to get some ideas. If you want to make some edits, down the bottom of the page there's usually a GitHub link. If you click on that then you can actually go to GitHub, make some edits to the page, and then suggest them as changes (a pull request).

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
