Board need resetting every two days

[AR-Tawil]

Hi Achim, I'm using your motion sensor code and it works perfectly. However, I noticed that the board needs resetting every two days or it will go into a No Responsive state?!!!

Thank you for your help

@AR-Tawil

This can be, due to some optimisations bij Maxim. Try to download the latest esp-homekit repro here and compile it again. let me know if it worked out.

@AR-Tawil

btw. I saw that you have 7 different blinds repro's. I curious how you solved some coding issues and hardware issues.
I really would like to have a peek at you code en know how you connected eg stepper etc.
If you want we can do a private chat?

best regards, Achim

Hi Achim, I have updated the code to the latest esp-homekit repro, recompiled and updated my boards. I'm still having the same issue where the boarded requires resetting after ~2 days. As I mentioned in my previous message the code works perfectly until the reset is required. It seems to me that it depends on the number of sensor activations until a reset becomes needed?!! Thank you for your help.

Hi Achim, I'm learning and it's still a hit or miss exercise for me. Please find below the adapted stepper code I use for my blinds:

#include <stdbool.h>
//#include <Arduino.h>
//#include <micros.h>

// ESP-12F(WeMos D1 mini)
#define IN1 5 //(GPIO5)
#define IN2 4 //(GPIO4)
#define IN3 0 //(GPIO0)
#define IN4 14 //(GPIO2)

const int NBSTEPS = 4095;
const int STEPTIME = 900;
int Step = 0;
bool Clockwise = true;

int arrayDefault[4] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
void stepper();
void setDirection();
void test(int outArray[4]);

int stepsMatrix[8][4] = {
{0, 0, 0, 1},
{0, 0, 1, 1},
{0, 0, 1, 0},
{0, 1, 1, 0},
{0, 1, 0, 0},
{1, 1, 0, 0},
{1, 0, 0, 0},
{1, 0, 0, 1}
};

bool set_gpio() {
gpio_enable(IN1, GPIO_OUTPUT);
gpio_enable(IN2, GPIO_OUTPUT);
gpio_enable(IN3, GPIO_OUTPUT);
gpio_enable(IN4, GPIO_OUTPUT);

return true;
}

void writeStep(int outArray[4]) {
test(outArray);
gpio_write(IN1, outArray[0]);
gpio_write(IN2, outArray[1]);
gpio_write(IN3, outArray[2]);
gpio_write(IN4, outArray[3]);
}

void setDirection() {
(Clockwise == true) ? (Step++) : (Step--);

if (Step > 7) {
Step = 0;
} else if (Step < 0) {
Step = 7;
}
}

void step() {

if ((Step >= 0) && (Step < 8)) {
writeStep(stepsMatrix[Step]);
} else {
writeStep(arrayDefault);
}
setDirection();
}

void sleep(){
writeStep(arrayDefault);
}

void reverse(){
Clockwise = !Clockwise;
}

bool clockwise(){
return Clockwise;
}

@AR-Tawil I saw that you already contacted Maxim maximkulkin/esp-homekit-demo#376 and he noticed that you having trouble with your DHCP, is this issue solved? maybe you can have a look here: https://github.com/maximkulkin/esp-homekit/issues if they having the same problems as you?

Hi Achim, I think DHCP is working better now.
Do have any ideas or suggestions to fix the motion sensor board resetting issue?
Thank you for your continuous support :)

@AR-Tawil do you have a log report to see what's happing when it resets?

[AR-Tawil]

@AchimPieters Is there a way to get log reports without using a direct USB connection to the device?

[AchimPieters]

yes off course! open your terminal and type:

nc -kulnw0 45678

@AR-Tawil did you managed to fix your problem?
