I think keypad.waitForKey is resetting my d1 Mini

capetito · March 4, 2022, 12:15am

Hello all.
I have a wemos d1 mini clone that I am sing for a small device. The code has bits from different parts of other code, and seems to work well all together.

My problem is that the d1 mini resets whenever the code reaches the keypad.waitForKey(), at least that's what I think is going on.
Whenever the code reaches a pause for a key press, it will reset after about 4 seconds.
Is this normal behavior for the keypad.waitForKey() function?

This is my code:

#include <Wire.h> 
#include <Keypad.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);

char* menu1[]={"Domination", "Configuracion"};
char* menu2[]={"Tiempo de Juego", "Probar Relay"};

const int PIN = 0;
#define NUM_LEDS 10

const byte ROWS = 1; //four rows
const byte COLS = 3; //four columns
char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
  {'u','d','c'}
 };
byte rowPins[ROWS] = {14}; //connect to the row pinouts of the keypad
byte colPins[COLS] = {15, 13, 12}; //connect to the column pinouts of the keypad

Keypad keypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS );

Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUM_LEDS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

boolean doStatus = false; //for DEmolition

//const int RELAYPIN = 7;
int ACTIVATESECONDS = 3;

boolean endGame = false;
unsigned long redTime;
unsigned long blueTime;
unsigned long iZoneTime;//initial time for zone
byte team=0; // 0 = neutral, 1 = blue team, 2 = red team

This is likely normal for an ESP. If you look at the error message, you will probably find "rst cause:4" (if I am right).

I have never worked with the library containing a waitForKey function, but the word "wait" raises a red flag. "rst cause:4" means a watchdog timer reset. You will get this anytime the watchdog timer is not reset in a couple of seconds (I forget the exact timeout). The ESP is designed to be used in consumer IOT devices and the WDT is a failsafe for those.

Again, if I am right, the wait function in the library contains blocking code which means the loop() function is not, well, looping. (When the loop() function starts, the WDT timer is reset). A while() statement is blocking code and will cause a WDT timeout on an ESP.

The solution- if I am right- is to find the blocking code in the library and add a yield(); statement. This will reset the WDT.

If your rst cause is not 4, then ignore everything I just said.

Hi. Steve. Thanks for the reply.

Where can I find this information?

I tried a yield() after the first use of waitForKey() with no success. Maybe I have to put it somewhere else?

capetito · March 4, 2022, 11:51am

Hi Pancake.

I see you changed

for just

Is there a specific reason for this, or is it just simbolic? I am not quite clear on all the structure of the keypad library.

runaway_pancake · March 4, 2022, 2:10pm

There were several instances, so I made that function.
No joy?
If not, then that yield() might have to be placed in the 'keypad' CPP

void waitforKey ()
{
  yield();
  var = keypad.waitForKey();
}

SteveMann · March 4, 2022, 2:18pm

You have to edit the library and put the yield(); INSIDE of the blocking code.

Do you have a serial monitor open?

runaway_pancake · March 4, 2022, 2:24pm

https://github.com/Chris--A/Keypad/blob/master/src/Keypad.cpp

char Keypad::waitForKey() {
	char waitKey = NO_KEY;
	while( (waitKey = getKey()) == NO_KEY );	// Block everything while waiting for a keypress.
	return waitKey;
}     //  <  <  <

PE - end brace was missing.

SteveMann · March 4, 2022, 6:20pm

Try this:

do{
  yield();
  waitKey = getKey()
} while (waitKey == NO_KEY
return waitKey;

If this fixes the problem, you might want to post a suggestion to the library maintainer.

capetito · March 4, 2022, 9:55pm

Ugh! I missed seeing the function at the very end of the code! Let me try it out and see what happens.

Was not aware of this feature in the IDE. Did some googleing and found how to enable it.
My serial monitor actually shows: "ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,6)"

Edit: I don't mean the serial monitor, that I was aware of. I meant the reset causes and exceptions text.

Tried this, didn't work.

Tried modifying the keypad.cpp but that didn't work either.

Where would I put this, in the library or in my sketch code?

PE: Had to delete several replies I made one after another, and put them all into a single reply. My apologies, for the noob mistakes

david_2018 · March 4, 2022, 11:13pm

How did you modify the library? The original looks like this:

char Keypad::waitForKey() {
  char waitKey = NO_KEY;
  while( (waitKey = getKey()) == NO_KEY );  // Block everything while waiting for a keypress.
  return waitKey;
}

Changing the while statement should solve the problem:

  while ( (waitKey = getKey()) == NO_KEY ) yield(); // Block everything while waiting for a keypress.

runaway_pancake · March 4, 2022, 11:27pm

"The body of a while can be one or more statements enclosed in braces,... or a single statement without braces".
-- K & R

char Keypad::waitForKey() {
	char waitKey = NO_KEY;
	while( (waitKey = getKey()) == NO_KEY )
     yield();
	return waitKey;
}

Looks off though. (That's just me.)
Assuming this works, it will not compile in non-ESP applications.

david_2018 · March 4, 2022, 11:40pm

Library does not appear to be actively maintained, there was a pull request for this issue in mid-2017.
https://github.com/Chris--A/Keypad/pull/14

The pull request used delay(0) instead of yield(), probably for that reason. delay() on an ESP8266 calls yield().

david_2018 · March 4, 2022, 11:43pm

The conditional statement is a bit unusual. waitKey is set to the return value of getKey(), then is compared to NO_KEY. The original code has no body as such.

capetito · March 4, 2022, 11:52pm

I used notepad++ to edit the .cpp file and modified the waitforKey function in the file with the yield() command, as you and @runaway_pancake suggested.
still wouldn't work.
Then I realized I was uploading to the esp my old code, not the one I fixed with @runaway_pancake waitforKey function. Uploaded that code and it finally works! Don't quite understand why it only works with the function, though.
Thankyou all for your help.

runaway_pancake · March 4, 2022, 11:57pm

ESP is not as carefree as straight-up Arduino (they took care of that/this for you).
If your ESP doesn't make loop progress in approx. 2.5msec then it will watchdog.
(If your sketch goes into a long delay, it will not watchdog.)
If you have a millis-based wait-for-it then you need yield() to relieve that.
Anytime you wait, as with your example, until no-matter-what, you need a yield() there too.

david_2018 · March 4, 2022, 11:59pm

You do need to be careful when editing library files. When compiling code the IDE caches the compiled library code, so that it only has to be compiled once instead of every time you re-compile the sketch. Closing and re-opening the IDE, or changing Tools > Board to another board, compiling, and then switching back to the ESP8266 will force recompilation of the libraries.

runaway_pancake · March 5, 2022, 12:00am

How easy would it be to rename the modified library as ESPkeypad ?
(There are probably a couple of bear-traps in there.)

david_2018 · March 5, 2022, 12:03am

Probably best to implement the function in the code itself, relying on a modified library will come back to haunt you later when you cannot figure out why the code will not work when compiled on another computer.

SteveMann · March 5, 2022, 3:02am

The actual watchdog timeout is 3.2 seconds.

The delay() function does call yield() every millisecond, so delay(0) should also work. I've never tried it.

Basically, you need yield() anytime the program flow doesn't get back to the top of the loop() every three seconds.
