homeduino-esp-node crashing / bootlooping

---

Does anyone have any experience getting homeduino-esp-node working stably? I am using a lolin v3 board and have tried all the gpio pins. The ones that receive the codes ok cause the board to crash and boot loop every few seconds, and if i connect the receiver to a port that it doesnt receive the codes, it stays booted up?!!

here is the error while it is connected to gpio3

In your Arduino software under “Tools” you select the platform you flash for. In this case probably Nodemcu 0.9 or Nodemcu 1.0.
In that same menu you have “Flash size”. In that submenu you can select 4M(3M SPIFFS) and 4M(1M SPIFFS). Default is the first one but in your case try the second one.

SPIFFS is SPI Flash File System. See here: https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/spiffs/

Hopefully that makes your esp stable.

thanks for your help, but this has not worked. I tried to decode the stack trace and got this…

I thought this would point me to a line in the sketch that was causing the crash but all the errors point to local files on my pc.

Any help is appreciated
