@mvdbro Is it exception 0 or some other exception? (should be in the first line of crash dump)

@Makuna my guess since you have moved disabling of timer into the interrupt in 2425ee3, isTimerActive and finISR should also be marked with ICACHE_RAM_ATTR.

[ghost]

Yes it's an exception (0)

Experienced the same exception and issues today. Took me a bit to track down it being tied to 2.1 and Servo. Downgrading to 2.0 and restarting the IDE fixed it.

I also experience this on 2.1. After downgrade to 2.0 it works fine.

Please check staging 2.2.0-rc1.

I to have been hit by this bug in 2.2.0 and 2.1.0. But I am confused, 2.2.0 is the current stable yet 2.2.0-rc1 has a fix. I am accustom to "rc" being "release candidate". What is 2.2.0-rc1 a candidate to? I would expect 2.2.0 but that is already released and marked stable.

[Makuna]

@p4yl04d3r I see the changes in 2.2.0 locally, and this is from a Arduino IDE 1.6.8 Board Manager install and it is working correctly. How are you installing the board support?

[p4yl04d3r]

@Makuna I found the commit 8d43c40 and verified that I did have the fix from this but.
I am using IDE 1.6.9. I added the Boards URL in Preferences "http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json"
I can confirm I do have an issue with 2.2.0 where 2.0.0 is OK.
I will open a new issue.
