[SOLVED] latest git-snapshot causes freezes

tekka

@cimba007 Please post new messages instead of editing previous post - this makes it easier in terms of understanding and following the chronology of the thread.

cimba007

Okay .. I am currently investigating:

TWBR = 0;

Might be somehow related as removing it causes no hangups so far...maybe I am seeing things with the newest snapshots :D Strangely the code was working fine until I added the mysensor-part ...

wopps .. again

264077 TSF:MSG:READ,0-0-14,s=0,c=1,t=16,pt=2,l=2,sg=0:0<\n>
264142 TSF:MSG:ACK<\n>

264208 MCO:SLP:MS=16,SMS=0,I1=1,M1=3,I2=255,M2=255<\n>
264273 MCO:SLP:TPD<\n>
264290 MCO:SLP:WUP=1<\n>
.30

So i2c-speed is probably unrelated .. as even after commeting the TWBR = 0; out the hangup repeated.

Next I will try to remove the acceleration-sensor readings ...

cimba007

And again ...

145522 TSF:MSG:ACK<\n>

But this time at a differenct part ...

  fabo3axis.readIntStatus();
  sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(3),RISING,16);

Removing this as well ..

cimba007

and .. again ..

.79366<\r><\n>
Update<\r><\n>

76038 TSF:MSG:ACK<\n>

My loop currently looks like this:

void loop() { 

  motionSensor.set(1);  motionSensor.waitsend(50);
  /*
  uint8_t s = fabo3axis.readIntStatus();
  if(ADXL345_INT_ACTIVITY & s){
    Serial.print("activity ");
    Serial.println(millis());
    motionSensor.set(1);  motionSensor.waitsend(50);
  }
  else
  {
    Serial.println(s,HEX);
    motionSensor.set(0);  motionSensor.waitsend(50);
  }
  */
  Serial.println("prepare to sleep");
  Serial.flush();
  
  // Pending Int-Stati might prevent interrupt!
  //fabo3axis.readIntStatus();
  sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(3),RISING,16);
  
  // helper.h
  //extern unsigned long millis_offset;
  millis_offset += 16;
  Serial.print(".");
  Serial.println(mymillis());
}

All referencec to the acceleration sensor removed .. the interrupt should not trigger as the interrupt-register is not "cleard" by issuing the readIntStatus ..

cimba007

I forgot to mention that the node is battery powered @ 2x AA-Alkaline-Battery @ ~2,5volt .. no LDO involved .. and an NRF24+LNA+PA version of the NRF24 ..

I got like 4-5 boards with this exact same setup and they run totally fine with the latest stable release ..

.. investigating the root cause might be difficulty as my code is a little bit customized with a little wrapper .. will try out a fresh sketch tomorrow ..

cimba007

Okay ... I switched back between snapshot from yesterday and stable 2.0.0 and all I can say is that the stable is perfectly fine and the snapshot freezes.

prepare to sleep
17416 MCO:SLP:MS=16,SMS=0,I1=1,M1=3,I2=255,M2=255
17481 MCO:SLP:TPD
17498 MCO:SLP:WUP=1
.18

Nothing on the code has been changed. Only difference is that I had to modifie latest stable to include a few delays for my slow 1mhz node ..

PS: I currently don't have the time to debug this issue further .. last time it took me some days to figure out the delay-issue of slow nodes ...

I suspect the sleep/interrupt combination.

Could not remove the accelerometer cause it is the source of the interrupts

cimba007

no sleep = fine
no i2c-communiction/no interrupts = fine

both = lockup

cimba007

I noticed that I can make the node crash if I trigger some interrupts by force (moving the accelerometer) .. nice ..

I guess the sleep/interrupt code has some kind of bug since the latest rework in the developer branch.

ikkeT

I hope you catch it, as I believe I'm hit by the same bug. It the happens similar way on Sensebender Micro & NRF24L01+. I have a thread on troubleshooting forum with topic of interrupt mystery. I'm arduino newbie, so I'm not much help. I'm just about to try it on Arduino Pro mini just for comparison.

Somehow the enbling of interrupts lock it within a minute or so. If no interrupt enabled, no locking.

BR,
Ikke

cimba007

@ikkeT Are you using the latest stable or snapshot version?

tekka

@cimba007 Thanks, I'll try to reproduce it. What Arduino IDE & AVR Board defs are you using?
@ikkeT Same here, can you upload your (minimal) sketch to reproduce and also indicate MySensors, Arduino IDE and AVR board def versions?

scalz

@cimba007
just an idea..i don't know if it can help at all..but it looks there is a while loop in FaBo3Axis::readI2c
do you think if adding some debug here you get something??
i was just thinking..a freeze that's weird..no wdt?

I changed the fuses to include BDOUT @ 1,8Volt

cimba007

@scalz Thanks for the hint with the while-loop. I changed the i2c-read the following way:

void FaBo3Axis::readI2c(uint8_t register_addr, uint8_t num, uint8_t buffer[])
{
  Wire.beginTransmission(_i2caddr);
  Wire.write(register_addr);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  Wire.requestFrom(_i2caddr, num);

  int i = 0;
  uint8_t limit = num;
  while(Wire.available() && limit--)
  {
	Serial.print("r");
    buffer[i] = Wire.read();
    i++;
  }
}

Now it should under no circumstanced read more then the number given. Sadly this had no impact:

Just before the sleep ..

I then added a Serial.flush() to the "r"-output ..

void FaBo3Axis::readI2c(uint8_t register_addr, uint8_t num, uint8_t buffer[])
{
	Serial.print("readI2c");
	Serial.flush();
  Wire.beginTransmission(_i2caddr);
  Wire.write(register_addr);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  Wire.requestFrom(_i2caddr, num);

  int i = 0;
  uint8_t limit = num;
  while(Wire.available() && limit--)
  {
	Serial.print("r");
	Serial.flush();
    buffer[i] = Wire.read();
    i++;
  }
}

Now the freeze is clearly before entering the sleep function ..

but then .. on another round ..

So .. your tip was very good .. it seems to be related to the

  Wire.beginTransmission(_i2caddr);
  Wire.write(register_addr);
  Wire.endTransmission();

-call .. only one questions remains .. why was it working perfectly on the stable library?

Just to be sure I will run exactly the same code in a non-stop loop with the stable library ..

@cimba007 What AVR board defs are you on?

cimba007

@tekka said:

AVR board def

What do you mean with AVR board def?

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4999/latest-git-snapshot-causes-freezes/17

I am using an arduino pro-mini china clone (328p) with 8mhz internal oscillator and DIV_8 fuse.

The bootloader is an "APM Optiboot 1Mhz" .. cant find the link right now.

tekka

@cimba007 You'll find the information in your Boards Manager (under Tools | Board | Boards Manager)

cimba007

yeah .. sorry
