ESP8266 Community Forum

As the title suggests I am trying to connect the ESP8266 microcontroller to the M6E Nano Simultaneous RFID Scanner. Unfortunately, it seems that running even the most simple sample programs to initialize the scanner cause a wdt reset. After doing some debugging it seems that this exception is caused by running the commands: "softSerial.begin(baudRate);" and "nano.setBaud(baudRate);" I've tried to use ESP.wdtFeed(); and yield(); before the problematic lines but it does not help very much. How do I fix this error or stop watchdog from hanging?
