Hello everyone. I am still a relative low ability programmer. Recently, I grabbed some ESP32-C3 Espressif boards, to use with ESP-NOW for a project. After starting, I thought 'I should add a WDT in my code'. There-in started the first of my problems. As has been noted, recent upgrades of Arduin…

[image] bsc100: After many trials (thinking it was to do with the 'Reset WDT' statement), I finally realised that it Wasn't tying up the early #define CONFIG_FREERTOS_NUMBER_OF_CORES 1 statement with the .idle_core_mask = (1 << CONFIG_FREERTOS_NUMBER_OF_CORES) - 1, statement. I just manually Se…

I had taken that line: 'Core Mask', as meaning with Core 0, or Core 1. Just plumbed your line in. It compiled, but failed on the C3 - No WDT reset occurs. Is it supposed to be a Bitwise Operand (ie: <<), or just a regular 'Less Than' (<) ? I did try it with just '<' but that failed. I returned…

[image] bsc100: I had taken that line: 'Core Mask', as meaning with Core 0, or Core 1. That is correct, it's a bit mask that identifies which Cores will have their Task WDT facility enabled. [image] bsc100: Is it supposed to be a Bitwise Operand (ie: <<), or just a regular 'Less Than' (<)…

I just threw that into the ESP32-C3, and it works Perfectly. Much appreciated. Would it be easy enough to create (perhaps) a Function, that you could call to change the TimeOut period ? My reasoning is that my original code I'm writing is for a Cruise control unit for my car. It would be useful …

PS: I'm using Arduino IDE Version: 2.3.3 on a Mac. Date: 2024-09-25 T09:37:41.856Z CLI Version: 1.0.4

[image] bsc100: Would it be easy enough to create (perhaps) a Function, that you could call to change the TimeOut period ? Probably best to check the Documentation to determine what's required to change the TWDT's configuration. [image] bsc100: PS: I'm using Arduino IDE Version: 2.3.3 on…

[image] bsc100: Would it be easy enough to create (perhaps) a Function, that you could call to change the TimeOut period ? you can call esp_task_wdt_reconfigure - see Espressif WDT reference have a look at // ESP32 WDT test - tested on ESP32, ESP32S3, ESP32C3 // for ESP32 core V3.x see ht…

Sorry - I've had little time over the past week to get back to any of this. I found where the 'ESP Core' info was (didn't know it was simply under the Board manager) - Currently v3.0.5 is installed. Also - I went & grabbed one of my full ESP32 (38pin) boards, and uploaded the Original sketch. It …

Looks to me like you didn't select any cores! Try:
.idle_core_mask = (1 << configNUM_CORES) - 1,
