Hello to all
I have ESP8266 nodemcu connected to wifi and geting two values from web. Sometimes it restart with this error:

this is part of the program that is called every 20seconds
void GetData()
{
HTTPClient http;
http.begin("http://192.168.0.101/printer_state.txt");
int httpCode = http.GET();
if (httpCode > 0)
{
const String& payload = http.getString(); //Get the request response payload
Serial.println(payload); //Print the response payload
if (payload.length() > 3 and httpCode==200)
{
crne_s = payload.substring(0, payload.indexOf(','));
barvne_s = payload.substring(payload.indexOf(',') + 1, payload.length());
}
}
if (http.connected()) http.end();
delay(1000);
}

the restart comes around http.end()
Does somebody have some idea to try?

Thanks

Has enybody any idea what will solve the problem..the ESP is restarting every few minuts

If this code is running every 20 seconds why stop and restart the HTTP connection?

You could put the http.begin in the start loop and just check there is still an http connection in the loop if you wanted.
