B4R Question ESP8266 - Soft WDT Reset - It fires even with yield();

[hatzisn]

I have got a problem I cannot figure a way to solve it. Here is what's happening:

I have a timer that runs every one second. At certain times a day the timer must be stopped and download new data.
I execute the command "tim.Enabled = False" and try to download the new data. At this point I get a Soft WDT Reset. I got the code full of yield(); commands but the Soft WDT Reset fires again and again. I cannot figure out what is going wrong here. I have coppied the exception and have pasted it in ESP Exception Decoder in Arduino IDE and I see the following. Any Ideas?

Edit: ESP Exception Decoder is an AddIn that you can find on GitHub if I recall correctly and there are instructions on how to install it.

In My World event One yield is to much.
I would rewrite my code.

 

[hatzisn]

I narrowed the problem. Consider the following code:

Sub Process_Globals
    Private bSeq(3) As Byte
    Private bc As ByteConverter
End Sub

Sub GetAllData
    bc.ArrayCopy(Array As Byte(1, 2, 3), bSeq)
    iCountSeq = 0
    JobLoop
End Sub

Sub GetWeatherAndTime
    bc.ArrayCopy(Array As Byte(2, 3), bSeq)
    iCountSeq = 0
    JobLoop
End Sub

Sub JobLoop
    LCDGR.Yield  'This just calls the yield(); function which is located in another module
    Log("bSeq pointer and Length: ", iCountSeq, bSeq.Length)
  
    If iCountSeq = bSeq.Length Then
        Return
    End If
  
    Dim iJb As UInt = bSeq(iCountSeq)
    'GetRefr, GetWeather and GetTime are subs that call different Http links
    Select Case iJb
        Case 1
            GetRefr(iCountSeq)
        Case 2
            GetWeather(iCountSeq)
        Case 3
            GetTime(iCountSeq)
    End Select
  
End Sub

Sub JobDone(Job As JobResult)
    .
    .
    .
    .
    iCountSeq = iCountSeq + 1
    JobLoop
End Sub

When the MCU boots it calls the GetAllData sub/void and everything works fine. It gets in the Job loop and starts executing one job after the other until the final job. Everything until this moment works correctly. Then the timer starts and at certain times a day (lets call them R-times) I need to download new data. If I call in an R-Time the sub GetWeatherAndTime then the "Soft WDT Reset occurs" BUT if I call GetAllData then everything works fine again and no problem occurs. I would suppose that something happens in GetRefr(iCountSeq) that feels right to the MCU. Nothing is special about this sub. The code is the same as with GetWeather and GetTime but with different http link. What can you all make out of this?

it's a old thread already. You found something.? I got something simular. Using Mqtt the WDT comes op when publishing some string where the length is aboven 50 chars. It can happen once a day, once a hour or 30x times a hour. Yield function didnt help. Dropped the Mqtt lib and back to code with a UDP package with the same payload: solved....
