[Solved]Guru Meditation Error:



  • Hi, when I upload on M5Stack base, the following sketch..

    /* Ultrasonic distance sensor example - Better Version
    
       Paul Carpenter, PC Services
       26-Jan-2017
    
       Update 4-Feb-2017 PC make variables more obvious
       Update 13-May-2017 PC add half bit rounding to distance calculation
    
       Uses HC-SR04 four pin ultrasonic sensor to continuously output distances
       found when in range (every second).
    
       Results WHEN valid output onto serial port at 115,200 baud
    
       Both LEDs ON when program starts and any other time for no start of echo
       received (probably bad wiring or faulty unit) on start up also serial port
       error string
        
       Lights RED Led when No Reading received or out of range
       Lights Yellow LED when too close (less than 5 cm)
       LEDs are connected via 330R or similar resistor other end of LED to GND
    
       Works on principle sound travels at 343.2 m/s in dry STILL air at 20 deg C
    
       So time per cm is 29.137529 micro seconds /cm
    
       For round trip (there and back)  58.275058 micro seconds /cm
    
       In order to reduce code size and execution time values are kept as integers
       and factor of 58 to calculate distances

    Unkown but seeing this pop up a few times on github with those pins.
    Try installing this arduino plugin and see what it says.
    link text

    Where are you getting pins 4, 6, 7 from as they are not broken out anywhere?



  • @ajb2k3 said in Guru Meditation Error::

    Where are you getting pins 4, 6, 7 from as they are not broken out anywhere?

    I'm testing with pins 21 and 22 for the hc-sr04 and no ledconnected....



  • @cepics Shouldn't it then be 21 and 22 defined in the code?
    GPIO 6 and 7 are not broken out.
    I thought that in arduino that pin was also defined as the gpio number.
    21 and 22 are digital pins isn't the echopin analogue?



  • I already use the hc-sr04 on M5stack with this code:

    // defines pins numbers
    const int trigPin = 22;
    const int echoPin = 21;
    // defines variables
    long duration;
    int distance;
    void setup() {
    pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output
    pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // Sets the echoPin as an Input
    Serial.begin(9600); // Starts the serial communication
    }
    void loop() {
    // Clears the trigPin
    digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(2);
    // Sets the trigPin on HIGH state for 10 micro seconds
    digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(10);
    digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
    // Reads the echoPin, returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds
    duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
    // Calculating the distance
    distance= duration*0.034/2;
    // Prints the distance on the Serial Monitor
    Serial.print("Distance: ");
    Serial.println(distance);
    }
    

    but I would like to test the "better version" one

  • @cepics said in Guru Meditation Error::

    #define redled 6
    #define yellowled 7

    you cant use 5 to 11 as they are reserved for flash.

    change the lines to

    //#define redled 6
    //#define yellowled 7
    

    This is the only difference between you working program an non working program.
    Github has a few errors of this type all connected to pins 5-11 and because the

    Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (IllegalInstruction). Exception was unhandled.
    has been triggered, it keeps crashing the Watchdog timer.

    this one compile & no error in serial monitor

    /* Ultrasonic distance sensor example - Better Version
    
       Paul Carpenter, PC Services
       26-Jan-2017
    
       Update 4-Feb-2017 PC make variables more obvious
       Update 13-May-2017 PC add half bit rounding to distance calculation
    
       Uses HC-SR04 four pin ultrasonic sensor to continuously output distances
       found when in range (every second).
    
       Results WHEN valid output onto serial port at 115,200 baud
    
       Both LEDs ON when program starts and any other time for no start of echo
       received (probably bad wiring or faulty unit) on start up also serial port
       error string
        
       Lights RED Led when No Reading received or out of range
       Lights Yellow LED when too close (less than 5 cm)
       LEDs are connected via 330R or similar resistor other end of LED to GND
    
       Works on principle sound travels at 343.2 m/s in dry STILL air at 20 deg C
    
       So time per cm is 29.137529 micro seconds /cm
    
       For round trip (there and back)  58.275058 micro seconds /cm
    
       In order to reduce code size and execution time values are kept as integers
       and factor of 58 to calculate distances

  • @ajb2k3 Thanks a lot !
