ESP01 Hanging?
Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2014 1:51 pmHey Guys.
I'm currently having an issue with my Arduino-to-ESP-to thingspeak temp monitor. It will randomly just stop uploading for seemingly no reason. All it takes is a reset of power to the ESP (unplug) and it starts working again. Sometimes it works fine for 12 hours, other just 10 minutes. For power, I have tried both the 3.3v off the Uno (yeah, I know i shouldn't) and 2 AA's. Neither seems to affect the issue.
Here is my code just in case. I am using two temp sensors, one connected to the uno, and another wireless from my sons room upstairs, sent via Serial transceivers. Any help would be great. Thanks!
