使用速度传感器时 ESP8266 上的软 wdt 复位

Question

I'm on my personal project to create a esp8266 module that can read several sensor from a vehicle and it can sends data over mqtt. so I have written the code where I try to reading the speed sensor its getting wdt reset and the esp8266 resetting again

so heres my code

void setup() {
  //Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }

  lcd.init();
  lcd.backlight();
  pinMode(speedSensor,INPUT_PULLUP);

  // attempt to connect to WiFi network:
  Serial.print("Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  
  while (WiFi.begin(ssid, pass) != WL_CONNECTED) {
    lcd.setCursor(0,0);
    lcd.print("Connecting to");
    lcd.setCursor(0,1);
    lcd.print("the network");
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(5000);
  }
  lcd.clear();

  Serial.println("You're connected to the network");
  Serial.println();

  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.print("Connected to");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print("the network");
  delay(2000);
  lcd.clear();

  // attempt to connect to the MQTT broker:
  Serial.print("Attempting to connect to the MQTT broker: ");
  Serial.println(broker);

  if (!mqttClient.connect(broker, port)) {
    Serial.print("MQTT connection failed! Error code = ");
    Serial.println(mqttClient.connectError());

    while (1);
  }

  Serial.println("You're connected to the MQTT broker!");
  Serial.println();

  // subscribe to the topic and set callback function
  mqttClient.onMessage(SwitchMotor);
  mqttClient.subscribe(topicSwitchMotor);

  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.print("Connected to");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print("the MQTT broker");
  delay(2000);
  lcd.clear();
  
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.print(" Fuel :");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print(" RPM  :");

  SPI.begin();
  rfid.PCD_Init();
  Serial.println("I am waiting for card...");
  pinMode(pinRelay, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(pinRelay, HIGH);
}

void loop() {

  mqttClient.poll(); // check for incoming messages

  FuelSensor(); // Fuel Sensor
  SpeedMotor(); // Speed Sensor
  StartMotor(); // Start Motor with RFID
}

void SpeedMotor(){
  start_time=millis();
  end_time=start_time+1000;
  
  while(millis()<end_time){
    yield();
      if(digitalRead(speedSensor)){
          steps=steps+1; 
          while(digitalRead(speedSensor));
      }
  }

  // calculate the speed
  temp=steps-steps_old;
  steps_old=steps;
  rps=(temp/20);
  rpm=(rps*60);
  lcd.setCursor(9,1);
  lcd.print(rpm);
  lcd.print("   ");

  // publish the message
  mqttClient.beginMessage(topicSpeedRpm);
  mqttClient.print(rpm);
  mqttClient.endMessage();

  mqttClient.beginMessage(topicSpeedRps);
  mqttClient.print(rps);
  mqttClient.endMessage();
}

and this is the output from serial monitor

You're connected to the MQTT broker!

Soft WDT reset

it'll soft wdt reset all over again and again

I'd already try Stack ESP execption decoder and it given this results ESP Exception decoder results

at the results its mentioning line 152 at speedMotor() function

void SpeedMotor(){
  start_time=millis();
  end_time=start_time+1000;
  
  while(millis()<end_time){
    yield(); // already use yield(); on while() loop
      if(digitalRead(speedSensor)){ // line 152
          steps=steps+1; 
          while(digitalRead(speedSensor));
      }
  }

  // calculate the speed
  temp=steps-steps_old;
  steps_old=steps;
  rps=(temp/20);
  rpm=(rps*60);
  lcd.setCursor(9,1);
  lcd.print(rpm);
  lcd.print("   ");

  // publish the message
  mqttClient.beginMessage(topicSpeedRpm);
  mqttClient.print(rpm);
  mqttClient.endMessage();

  mqttClient.beginMessage(topicSpeedRps);
  mqttClient.print(rps);
  mqttClient.endMessage();
}

and i already try too from arduino forum https://forum.arduino.cc/t/solved-esp8266-millis-crash/636543 it says try using yield(); in the while() loop but its still given the soft wdt rest

i would like to have clear answer how to use the yield(); function properly so theres no more soft wdt resetting again

Answer 1

As per the comments the issue was in this section of code:

 while(millis()<end_time){
    yield(); // already use yield(); on while() loop
      if(digitalRead(speedSensor)){ // line 152
          steps=steps+1; 
          while(digitalRead(speedSensor));
      }
  }

The problem is that if digitalRead(speedSensor) returns true then a loop runs until digitalRead(speedSensor) returns false ; this may run long enough to trigger the watchdog.

while(digitalRead(speedSensor));

One way of fixing this is to yield within the loop ie:

while(digitalRead(speedSensor)) {
     yield(); 
}
