Nodemcu with ADXL345

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hello Everyone,

I have interfaced Nodemcu with ADXL345 Accelerometer using SPI and the code is working fine after it gets uploaded. I am facing a problem and looking for a solution. Actually the problem is Once the code is uploaded to Nodemcu ESP8266 it works till it is powered on through USB. But if it is disconnected and repowered through USB or any other source again, I need to reupload the code to the nodemcu everytime. Please let me know if there is any solution.

Thank you

Post your code so it is clear what pins you are using. Certain pins have a special significance at boot time (0,2 and 15).

Maybe edit your previous post to (a) use code tags so it displays correctly here and (b) remove the credentials (password etc.) in the code.

My suggestion is to change this:

#define SSpin   D8//GPIO 15 CHip Select

to use D0 (GPIO 16) instead and then change the wiring to match.

If that doesn't work, then also post a circuit diagram which shows how you've wired it all up.

attached is the circuit design
b) code after change it prints 0 0 0 continuously

hi

sorry it was mistaake in the code, it works with D0 pin, but I NEED to press reset button for nodemcu to reconnect to wifi again.

can you please share the updated code?
