I have a brand new board (https://a.co/d/eVlfatA) using the current version of OMG.

I had noticed the reported uptime was low fairly often and I started watching it. I noticed when the reported RSSI changed, the board would restart.

I attached 2 screenshots that clearly show that interesting correlation.

The module wasn’t touched during any of that.

Sometimes it would restart within a few seconds, sometimes hours. But there is a clear correlation to the RSSI.

Any ideas? Advice?
It’s odd to get those frequent resets…

Watching the serial port I found this goodie…

Which environment/binary are you using?

I flashed the pre-built sw from here…
Running 1.6.0 esp32dev-ble-datatest
HW is a esp32-wroom board.

Do you have ever used PlatformIO to add TRACE and exception decoding to this? Here is an environment that would help with debugging:

[env:esp32dev-ble-datatest]
platform = ${com.esp32_platform}
board = esp32dev
monitor_filters = esp32_exception_decoder
board_build.partitions = min_spiffs.csv
lib_deps =
  ${com-esp32.lib_deps}
  ${libraries.ble}
  ${libraries.decoder}
build_flags =
  ${com-esp32.build_flags}
  '-DZgatewayBT="BT"'
  '-DLED_SEND_RECEIVE=2'
  '-DLED_SEND_RECEIVE_ON=0'
  '-DTimeBtwRead=0'
  '-DScan_duration=3000'
  '-DAttemptBLEConnect=false'
  '-DpubBLEAdvData=true'
  '-DGateway_Name="OMG_ESP32_BLE"'
  '-DLOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_TRACE

Alternatively you could try also the latest dev branch

I’ll give this a try. All new to me so no, have not tried that before.
