Interrupt wdt timeout on CPU1 using DHT and Firebase for ESP

[FedX33]

Hi,

i already posted this on GitHub but i think it makes more sense to ask in this forum for a little help..

i'm struggling with my projetct. I use Firebase ESP client to open some streams with callbacks and to send DHT22 Sensor Data to a specific topic every minute.

Sensor Data is refreshing every 5s:

Code: Untitled.cpp Select all

  if(millis() > sensorSyncMillis + 5000){

    sensorSyncMillis = millis();



    float rawTemp = dht.readTemperature();

    float rawHum = dht.readHumidity();

    

    if (!isnan(rawTemp) || !isnan(rawHum)){

      hum = rawHum; //Global values to store valid readings

      temp = rawTemp;

    }

  }

i use the adafruit library <DHT.h> and found some blocking code in there, it also seems that DHT22 is quite slow. Additionaly i log outputs on a SD card for information and debugging. The combination of using firebase and the blocking code of DHT22 seem to sporadically trigger a Interrupt wdt timeout..

i debugged the Backtrace and PC with following information:

Error:
Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (Interrupt wdt timeout on CPU1).

so what would be the best solution for this issue? Of course i could just use a faster and more reliable sensor, but i would like to use the hardware i have for now..

Maybe just raise the time for timeout, how could i do this?
Feed the watchdog before and after trying to get DHT22 data?

And another big problem is this Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (Interrupt wdt timeout on CPU1). I would expect the ESP to do a soft reset, but it gets stuck which is a great reliability issue for my usecase.

The API has changed in IDF 5, and I haven't had the time or need to look at the changes.
This will work in arduino-esp32 2.0.14.

Code: Select all

#include <esp_task_wdt.h>
...
esp_task_wdt_init(40,0); // 40 seconds, don't panic if triggered
// Long process here
esp_task_wdt_init(5,1); // Back to the default with 5 seconds and panic
