Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed

Postby CobaltEcho » Wed Aug 30, 2023 2:46 am

(ESP32 Dev Board) Im trying to read wav files off an SD card (and play them), but keep running into this error:

And contrary to the Serial Monitor, I do have three short wav files on the SD card.

Code: Select all

Starting setup...
SD Card initialized.
I2S output initialized.
Root directory opened.
No WAV files found.
Guru Meditation Error: Core  1 panic'ed (LoadProhibited). Exception was unhandled.

Rebooting...
Not sure what's going on, did something happen with my ESP32?

As it does not find any WAV files, wav is not initialised.
You then try and access it in loop().
I'm pretty sure this will cause the core panic.
As for why it's not seeing any files, I don't know the answer.

Be careful when working with pointers.
Firstly, initiate all pointers to nullptr

Code: Select all

AudioGeneratorWAV *wav = nullptr;
AudioOutputI2S *out = nullptr;
AudioFileSourceSD *file = nullptr;
Secondly, before accessing to pointer or deleting pointer, make sure it is not null using:

Code: Select all

if (wav) {
  // do something
  delete wav;
  wav = nullptr; //Assign it to null for further use
}
You got Core paniced because you accessed to an undefined pointer in loop, the wav.

Code: Select all

void loop() {
  // Check if the WAV file is still playing
  if (wav->isRunning()) {
  }
  ...
}
Why the wav is undefined? Because wav is not initiated and it's not yet allocated - the

Code: Select all

wav = new AudioGeneratorWAV();
never be called.
