Does anyone know what's the issue here?

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows Store 1.8.57.0) (Windows 10), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Disabled (new aborts on oom), Disabled, All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 32KB cache + 32KB IRAM (balanced), Use pgm_read macros for IRAM/PROGMEM, 4MB (FS:2MB OTA:~1019KB), 2, v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200"

Executable segment sizes:

ICACHE : 32768           - flash instruction cache 

IROM   : 286960          - code in flash         (default or ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR) 

IRAM   : 29025   / 32768 - code in IRAM          (IRAM_ATTR, ISRs...) 

DATA   : 1616  )         - initialized variables (global, static) in RAM/HEAP 

RODATA : 1692  ) / 81920 - constants             (global, static) in RAM/HEAP 

BSS    : 26392 )         - zeroed variables      (global, static) in RAM/HEAP 

Sketch uses 319293 bytes (30%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1044464 bytes.

Global variables use 29700 bytes (36%) of dynamic memory, leaving 52220 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.

Yes you posted in the wrong section. Installation and troubleshooting is NOT for your own projects but for getting the system working.
I have moved your post to a more appropriate section. Please take more care when posting in future.

3

Just a wild guess - A bug in your code?

4

Im sorry. Next time Ill check

6

It appears there is a memory block issue of sending data to the ESP. My guess, the ESP's memory is not right.

7

How to correct this?

8

Are you able to de-solder the current ram chip from your ESP module and replace it with a new one?

Did you happen to test another ESP32? From a different manufacturer?
