ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi all!

I've been working with the ESP8266 for a few weeks now, using the Arduino IDE available for the ESP. I'm running a simple socket server that listens on port 4998, what I've been encountering is that after a while the code crashes and I lose either complete connection to the WiFi network or just the socket server functionality (in this last scenario I'm able to ping the chip and get a response), my code uses EEPROM to store the network credentials (SSID, password) and uses the web server example as a template. Has anyone encountered any issues on this? Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

I've used the IDE to put Weather System code onto an ESP-01 and it has been running 24/7 for weeks without any problems. The hardware is an ESP-01, i2c oled display and an LDO power supply. It waits 15 minutes in between connecting and downloading new data and I don't think anything is stored in the eeprom.

I have a temperature sensor uploading data every minute to thingspeak.com and it stopped working after 24 hours (almost exactly, after 1445 entries). It was running on a 3.7V li-pol battery from a drone, after I found out about it, I reconnected the battery and it works again. I did not use the deep sleep option because I'm too clumsy to solder the one single wire necessary for esp-01 to wake from deep sleep.

edit: the battery was indeed drained out. sorry
