Failed to build esp8266/esp8266.ino

Some enum definition have been moved to another place ?

[luc-github]

seems type has been changed to
phy_mode_t
and sleep_type_t

[luc-github]

Need to wait git version is moved to stable version because doing modification now will make incompatible with current stable version or need to add some define which will not be necessary when git become stable

So fix is on hold until these 2 enum are in stable version : 2.1 or more

[luc-github]

2.1.0 is now out - it is time to try it http://arduino.esp8266.com/versions/2.1.0/package_esp8266com_index.json

[luc-github]

with 2.1.0 when safe mode is starting the module crash to exception 2
Need to investigate

[luc-github]

exception 2 also after reset EEPROM and starting as Access point

[luc-github]

disabling all feature allow to start AP - will check which feature(s) generate the crash

[luc-github]

crash at startup is linked to
TCP_IP_DATA_FEATURE, if only this one is disabled, module seems fine

[luc-github]

doing a simple sketch validate the possibility of having 2 ports is still working
so should be something in implementation code

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>

const char* ssid = "NETGEAR_2GEXT_OFFICE";
const char* password = "BUREAUCHAMBRE";

ESP8266WebServer server(80);
ESP8266WebServer server2(8888);

void handleRoot() {
  server.send(200, "text/plain", "hello from esp8266!");
}

void handleRoot2() {
  server2.send(200, "text/plain", "hello from esp8266!");
}

void handleNotFound(){
  String message = "File Not Found\n\n";
  message += "URI: ";
  message += server.uri();
  message += "\nMethod: ";
  message += (server.method() == HTTP_GET)?"GET":"POST";
  message += "\nArguments: ";
  message += server.args();
  message += "\n";
  for (uint8_t i=0; i<server.args(); i++){
    message += " " + server.argName(i) + ": " + server.arg(i) + "\n";
  }
  server.send(404, "text/plain", message);
}

void setup(void){
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  Serial.println("");

  // Wait for connection
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.print("Connected to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  Serial.print("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

  if (MDNS.begin("esp8266")) {
    Serial.println("MDNS responder started");
  }

  server.on("/", handleRoot);
  server2.on("/", handleRoot2);

  server.onNotFound(handleNotFound);

  server.begin();
  server2.begin();
  Serial.println("HTTP server started");
}

void loop(void){
  server.handleClient();
  server2.handleClient();
}

Issue looks linked to presence of

data_server->setNoDelay(true);

Commenting it and module seems fine

Need long run test - additionally reaction time looks slower than with 2.0.0 but need more tests to confirm

[luc-github]

travis - read me are up to date
Still need to review all functions one by one to confirm it is Ok and no side effect, like on web update for example

[luc-github]

exception(2) issue is reported : esp8266/Arduino#1695

[luc-github]

seems module is definitly slow and now new issue appeared #85

[luc-github]

the setNoDelay issue is fixed in git so will be part of 2.2.0

[luc-github]

all fixes have been implemented - anyway 2.1.0 must not used due to critcal bugs, performances issues and so usability issue
2.2.0 should be the next stable release

[luc-github]

I have cleared thread to keep focus
After 3 days running non stop on monitoring printer page, not even 1 crash on nodeMCU, so now it is solid rock as 2.0.0 with current git version, tested all features and looks ok so far
will start long test run on ESP12 on my printer today to confirm status

[luc-github]

after 24h monitoring printer on ESP12E and even monitoring a 20min print - still no crash so I can confirm it fine until new test on final 2.2.0
