I need help in the debug the esp32

for some reason when i debug it sudnley quits i think i have a short sircut because im trying to make my on ai voice assitant heres the code

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <EasyVR.h>

EasyVR easyvr(Serial2);

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) {
; // Wait for serial connection
}

if (!easyvr.detect()) {
Serial.println("EasyVR not detected!");
while (1);
}

easyvr.setLanguage(1); // Set the EasyVR module to the desired group (commands)
}

void loop() {
if (easyvr.getCommand()) {
int16_t commandId = easyvr.getCommand();

Serial.print("Command recognized: ");
Serial.println(commandId);

handleCommand(commandId);

}

delay(100);
}

void handleCommand(int16_t commandId) {
switch (commandId) {
case 0:
say("Hello, how can I help you?");
break;
// Add more cases for additional commands
default:
say("Sorry, I didn't understand that.");
}
}

void say(const char *text) {
Serial1.print('P'); // Play command on ISD1820
delay(100);
Serial1.println(text);
delay(5000);
}

Hi @1robotics2enginner

Please add a reply here on the forum thread to provide more information.

What do you mean by "debug"? Are you using the Arduino IDE 2.x integrated sketch debugger? Or do you mean something else?

What exactly is the "it" referring to?

it says this when i press the debug buttonembedded:startup.tcl:28: Error: Can't find debug.cfg
in procedure 'script'
at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 28
[2024-02-15T14:27:02.919Z] SERVER CONSOLE DEBUG: onBackendConnect: gdb-server session closed
GDB server session ended. This terminal will be reused, waiting for next session to start...

i need help it shows me this when i press the debug button OpenOCD: GDB Server Quit Unexpectedly. See gdb-server output for more details.

and i have an esp32 trying to make a ai voice assitant

I have merged your cross-posts @1robotics2enginner.

Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.

Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.

In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Ok i just need help

Are you using Arduino IDE 2.3.0 or 2.3.1? If so, this is the cause of the error. As was mentioned in the 2.3.0 release announcement:

I'll provide instructions you can follow to install Arduino IDE 2.2.1:

  1. Click the following link to open the page for the 2.2.1 release in the Arduino IDE GitHub repository:
    Release 2.2.1 · arduino/arduino-ide · GitHub

  2. From the list of download links under the "Assets" section of the page, click the link with the name:

    • If you want the installer package: arduino-ide_2.2.1_Windows_64bit.exe
    • If you want the "MSI" package: arduino-ide_2.2.1_Windows_64bit.msi
    • If you want the "ZIP" package: arduino-ide_2.2.1_Windows_64bit.zip

    If you aren't sure which one you need, use arduino-ide_2.2.1_Windows_64bit.exe

  3. Wait for the download to finish.

  4. Install Arduino IDE from the downloaded file as you would normally do.

When using Arduino IDE 2.2.1, you will find that Arduino IDE periodically shows an "Update Available" dialog to offer you an update to the newer version of Arduino IDE. You must not accept these updates until after you see that a new version of the "esp32" boards platform has been released.

stiil it shows the same thing

Please double check to make sure it says "Arduino IDE 2.2.1" at the top of the Arduino IDE window:

It is possible you are still using Arduino IDE 2.3.0 without realizing it.

im sure its 2.2.1 look

image
and my debug button is not clickable

This is caused by a bug in Arduino IDE 2.2.1 (which is fixed in the latest versions). I'll provide instructions for the workaround:

  1. Select Tools > Board > Arduino AVR Boards > Arduino Uno from the Arduino IDE menus.
  2. Select your ESP32 board once again from the Tools > Board menu.

You will not find that the "Start Debugging" button is clickable. Try using the debugger again as usual. Hopefully it will work this time.

but im using an esp32

I'm well aware of that. Did you notice that I instructed you to select the ESP32 board in step (2) of the instructions???

its aredly selected

OK, so is the debugger working now? If not, please provide a detailed description of the current behavior that does not match your expectations.

look still its not clickable

what do i do

Did you perform the instructions I provided in post #12? If not, please perform them, making sure to follow the instructions very carefully and not skip any step, and then try again.

i found a way to debug look from this menu

do you think is good and when i press the run button this what it shows

Congratulations on finding a solution. Thanks for taking the time to post an update.

ya but now i have this problem
