Exception Crash reporting

What is a crash?

⚠️ Warning: The board was reset due to an exception or panic. Inform developers!

If you are seeing this message, it means the embedded code on the board crashed fatally, which resulted in an automatic reboot. This is unwanted behavior, and should be investigated by a developer.

How do I help?

By providing debug logs and reporting a Github issue! This is explained in the steps below:

Step 1: Gather logs

If you are seeing panic resets, connect the USB cable to a PC, and enable serial monitor in the Arduino IDE. Let the log capture all data that the board spits out, and when the Panic reset occurs, store all the text into a .txt file.

ℹ️ Remember to set baud rate to 115200 in the right hand side of the monitor, otherwise all text will be garbage =!"=%(=?!

This is what a reboot might look like

Step 2: Store what configuration you are running.

By saving the USER_SETTINGS.h and USER_SETTINGS.cpp , you will also help the developers figure out what software combination is active.

ℹ️ Be sure to remove any potential Wifi / MQTT credentials from the files before saving them!

Step 3: Make a Github issue

The final step, is to make a descriptive issue on Github. A new issue can be created via this link: Make new issue

Remember to post the Debug file, USER settings files, and an overall description on how frequent the panics occur, and if there is any easy way to reproduce it.

Thank you for helping improve the software!
