Why do we need this ESP_MultiResetDetector library

Features

ESP_MultiResetDetector is a library for the ESP8266 and ESP32 boards to detects a configurable multi reset, within configurable timeout (default 10s) seconds, so that an alternative start-up mode can be used. Example use cases are to allow re-configuration of a device's WiFi / MQTT / Blynk credentials or to count the number of resets within a pre-determined timed.

This library is based on, modified, bug-fixed and improved from Stephen Denne's DoubleResetDetector to add support to ESP8266 and ESP32 using EEPROM, SPIFFS and LittleFS besides original RTC.

Currently, DoubleResetDetector only supports ESP8266 using RTC memory.

This library can be used to detect a multi reset within a predetermined time to force the program to enter a special operation such as Config Portal, Clear Default Data, etc., using :

1. EEPROM, SPIFFS or LittleFS for ESP8266 and ESP32 boards.
2. RTC memory for ESP8266 boards (unadvised).

Currently supported Boards

This ESP_MultiResetDetector library currently supports these following boards:

1. ESP32, ESP32_C3, ESP32_S2 and ESP32_S3 boards, using EEPROM, SPIFFS or LittleFS.
2. ESP8266 boards RTC memory, EEPROM, SPIFFS or LittleFS

---

---

Prerequisites

1. Arduino IDE 1.8.19+ for Arduino.
2. ESP32 Core 2.0.5+ for ESP32-based boards.
3. ESP8266 Core 3.0.2+ for ESP8266-based boards. . SPIFFS is deprecated from ESP8266 core 2.7.1+, to use LittleFS.
4. LittleFS_esp32 v1.0.6+ for ESP32-based boards using LittleFS with ESP32 core v1.0.5-. To install, check . Notice: This LittleFS_esp32 library has been integrated to Arduino ESP32 core v1.0.6+ and you don't need to install it if using ESP32 core v1.0.6+

Installation

Use Arduino Library Manager

The best and easiest way is to use Arduino Library Manager. Search for ESP_MultiResetDetector, then select / install the latest version. You can also use this link for more detailed instructions.

Manual Install

1. Navigate to ESP_MultiResetDetector page.
2. Download the latest release ESP_MultiResetDetector-main.zip.
3. Extract the zip file to ESP_MultiResetDetector-main directory
4. Copy the whole ESP_MultiResetDetector-main folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO:

1. Install VS Code
2. Install PlatformIO
3. Install ESP_MultiResetDetector library by using Library Manager. Search for ESP_MultiResetDetector in Platform.io Author's Libraries
4. Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File

Debug

Debug is disabled by default. To enable debug:

// Use this to output debug msgs to Serial
#define MULTIRESETDETECTOR_DEBUG       true

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the ESP32 / ESP8266 core for Arduino.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the ESP32 / ESP8266 core to the latest version because I am using some newly added function.

TO DO

1. Search for bug and improvement.
2. Similar features for Arduino (UNO, Mega, SAM DUE, SAMD21/SAMD51, nRF52, STM32, Teensy, etc.). Look at DoubleResetDetector_Generic

DONE

1. Multi Reset Detector for ESP32 (EEPROM, SPIFFS and LittleFS) and ESP8266 (RTC, EEPROM, SPIFFS and LittleFS).
2. Add support to ESP32_C3, ESP32_S2
3. Add support to ESP32_S3 using ESP32 core v2.0.2+
4. Add waitingForMRD() function to signal in MRD waiting period.
5. Fix ESP32 chipID for exampleConfigOnMultiReset
6. Remove dependency on LittleFS_esp32 library to prevent PIO error when using new ESP32 core v1.0.6+
7. Add astyle using allman style. Restyle the library
