And I tell a lie… it does use the loop, and instead uses a state machine to determine whether to get the sensor reading, idle until a total of 20 seconds uptime has elapsed to allow OTA to happen, or go into deepsleep. You just want it to be hanging around for long enough to hear espota sending it the message to start processing OTA…īelow is the code I currently have on a pair of ESP8266s (DigiStump Oak) that have been running well for the last several months… (and is overdue some tweaking as it’s a mismash of example code).

As long as there is a delay of some description (even a delay(1)) the ESP will get the yield() call it needs to ensure it doesn’t lock up, as well as encouraging it to idle while not doing anything. # - Send command to controller to differ between flashing and transmitting SPIFFS image. # use it like: python3 espota.py -i -I -p -P -f

# This script will push an OTA update to the ESP # Modified since from Matthew O'Gorman () I’m not sure why the timeout would configurable… as going by the espota.py script, it is hard coded for 10 seconds, and doesn’t have a ‘timeout’ option… quite strange! Maybe platformio is running it multiple times? esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/tools/espota.py?utm_source=platformio&utm_medium=docs #!/usr/bin/env python3 I’d probably be tempted to increase the lookup to at least 5 seconds, so 50… I’ll have a look at the code I did to do something similar… basically all in setup instead of loop. Is my look of 30x 100ms enough to catch the OTA (the while loop with ota handle() ). In platformio.ini ' upload_flags = -timeout=20' it looks like the unit for this flag is 10sec ? curious, no? It does not always works and I wonder the following: So I launch an upload from atom and just wait… I do not have any “loop()” fonction, like most code with deepsleep, so I set a short loop at the end of my code, this way: mqtt.disconnect() ĪrduinoOTA.begin() // initialisation de l'OTA I added some OTA handling at the end of my code, before going back to sleep.

I currently work on a weather sensor that spend most of its time in deepsleep, shortly wake up, measure and send data and goes back to deepsleep.

If in that time interval it receives anything, flash() will be called that will flash the lights for 9 secs.I use atom+platformio to develop some software on ESP8266. Here is the bigger picture.I actually want a radio to wake up for 250 ms. Inside loop 1, I call a function flash(), that has to run for 9 seconds! I put another loop (loop 2) after loop 1, that would run for 3 seconds. In loop(), I have a while loop (let's call it loop 1) that should run for 250 ms. More specifically, the lights flash for ~250 ms, whereas I want to flash for 9 seconds! Here is a simplified version of what I am doing. The problem is that I cannot flash the lights for the desired period.

I am using millis() to flash some lights (neopixels) on an arduino pro mini.
