Hello everyone.
I am using an esp8266 as a web connected energy meter. As it will be in a switchboard it is a bit hard to get to and connect to a computer for a serial debugging. I am developing a replacement for the Serial module that can write to serial and also a file on the flash. The data (what was written to serial) i could then show on a page on the esp.
I am using the esp async web server to run the web serving part of it. For all other things (various pages, and web services that do not use the multipart response) it all seems OK.
The code to write to the file (appears at least) to be working OK, but the web service to retrieve the contents fails with an exception. Can anyone help me work out why it is failing?
Which exception is generated and which line of the code it is seems to vary, but a minimal application to trigger the error gives this stack trace:
the code to generate the exception is:
ino file:
header file:
cpp file
the buffer file which generated the error is here:
