- Fri Feb 16, 2018 9:43 am #74024 My friend and I are building our first ESP8266 project. We are using this board

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NodeMcu ... 0.0.YrRsyR

We are attempting to do this project

https://github.com/mdhiggins/ESP8266-HT ... /README.md

We are using a windows 10 platform to do the setup

We finally got through all of our initial issues of understanding the IDE etc (I'm a programmer but I normally work in VB.Net). We got the image loaded, but the board just keeps rebooting after a second or so with this message in the serial monitor window:

rst cause:4, boot mode:(3,6)

I googled this and it looks like maybe the watchdog timer? There was a wtd somewhere in the window too but I didn't copy that part of the message (I'm not in front of the machine right now).

I did see a post that sounded like maybe if I put in code to stop/reset the watchdog timer in Startup and Loop that would work but I wasn't sure exactly where to place the code in those functions. I tried a random spot toward the beginning of startup and the beginning of the loop but it didn't get me anywhere.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

Didn't notice that but we pulled the code last on Thursday so I'm pretty sure we got that update. Thanks for pointing it out though.
