• Espruino restarting on many IR signals recieve (watchdog retsarting)

  in ESP8266 • 6 years, 6 months

  

  Hello,
  I am quite new to Espruino, (was similar to Arduino) and I really like Espruino more than Arduino.

  So, I have written a simple code from examples -

  var led;
  
  require("IRReceiver").connect(5, function(code) {
    if(code=="100000000111111110101100010100111") toggle();
    //console.log(code);
  });
  function onInit() {
    console.log("init running...");
    digitalWrite(4, 1);
  }
  function toggle() { 
    led= !led; 
    digitalWrite(4, led);
  }
  save();
  

  This code works really well. It reads signals and does his job. But, when I press button for 50 or 60 times, board restarts and says -

  ets Jan  8 2013,rst cause:4, boot mode:(3,2)

  Œâìƒoä›rƒûg|ìdŒd`ŒãrÛlŒþLoading 3031 bytes from flash...
  

  I know that cause: 4 is watchdog reason. Also I know that ES8266 is not such powerful board to handle working on big data. And also I know that when it turns led, watchdog can trigger at that moment and if many of those situations will be, buffer simply goes full.

  So, my question is - how I can fix this issue so that if I will press button for 500 times restart must not appair? Something that will stop watchog receiving data when board does another operations? I tried to do this with transistor - when I pressed button and code was recognized, transistor was shutting down IR receiver, but the problem was same.
