ESP8266 NodeMCU hangs up

Hello all
I am building a NTP clock using NodeMCU with WS2812B. I have built the LED array and was testing it before I can get the NTP part included in the sketch. I have just used a count up to display on a 4 - 7 segment type LED strips. The code i guess is understandable even by beginners and novice ( like me as well).

Testing:

I had both the hour tenths and hour unit to work fine, but when i included the Minutes tens and minutes unit digit had a error as mentioned below. I guess its got some thing to do with the boot, and no clue about it. Look forward to your guidance and assistance. Thank you in advance. Keep well and Stay Safe. Regards

The Error message on my Serial Monitor:

to simplify your work on the NTP part use this highly useful NTPClient library which is very helpful

The error seems to show wdt reset has caused the reboot

My guess is one of your many for loops is stucked in an infinite loop i.e. the condition is never made false. Maybe one of your counter variable is incremented and decremented at the same time causing the for loop to stay for looping...

Thank you. Yes I am planning to use the NTPClient.

Hello,
It was a silly mistake on my side. The error was caused by stack over flow by WS2812b call. I have 21 leds for the each segment + 1 for the decimal point which makes it 22 leds per segment. So we have 4 such segments which accounts for 88 leds. On my declaration I had only declared 44 leds ( 2 segments ) instead on 88 LEDS. Sometimes you are in a hurry to see your project working and land up with such silly errors. Had no errors and compiled and works fine. Thank you very much for your time. Keep WELL and be SAFE.
