Trying to use ultrasonic sensor with interrupts
Posted: Tue May 10, 2022 7:30 pm
Hello,
I am hoping someone might know where I am going wrong, so I am completely new to both Arduino's and ESP32, mostly dabbled with Pi's, however, trying to do a project at mo to get ultrasonic sensors to respond quicker, so found a really useful site https://homediyelectronics.com/projects ... rupts/?p=4 covering how to use interrupts to get things to work a bit quicker.
I have tried to modify the sketch to better understand how it works, it does compile but when it goes onto the ESP32 it just keeps rebooting, was hoping someone could point me in the direction of the errors in my way!
The error I am seeing on the ESP32 is:
Any help would be massively appreciated.
