See [comment][1]. Do not forget to build in debug-mode. For example in PlatformIO IDE, select as project task 'Advanced' → 'Pre-Debug'. See also [here][2]. To decode backtraces from the Wokwi serial monitor, one can use [this python script][3].

For debugging runtime exceptions reading the backtrace can be helpful. In order to understand the backtrace which is written by the framework to the serial port, a backtrace decoder can be used. I added a filter to the ESP32 environment which handles this.
For this to work, do not forget to build in debug-mode. For example in PlatformIO IDE, select as project task 'Advanced' → 'Pre-Debug'. See also here. Also this only works as long as the serial output is read by PlatformIO.
To decode backtraces from the Wokwi serial monitor, one can use this python script.
