I was seeking advice on how to to store a large array on the ESP32. I'm currently using the Adafruit Huzzah WROOM-32 module on the Arduino IDE platform.
I have this I2S microphone and want to send around 5-6 seconds of 18-bit audio over WiFi. Sampled at 32 kHz, the audio requires alot of memory. I was gonna store the audio first in order to avoid latencies between each sample cycle. The stored audio would then be transmitted sample by sample over WiFi. I tried passing the samples right through the Serial.print() and I get around 300 000 integer values in a record cycle. I have tried many ways (simply declaring a massive array, malloc/calloc, Arduino EEPROM example, static or constant declaration) but it keeps rebooting and giving this message in Serial:
Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (StoreProhibited)
. Exception was unhandled.

Im trying to use the SPI flash but my weak MCU programming background is failing me. From what I know, the Huzzah has 16 Mb of flash. Its just a matter of allocating it.
It would be greatly appreciated if you can help or suggest alternatives to solve this.

You are confusing flash and ram. Wroom32 on huzzah only has 520kbyte ram and maybe half would be available as heap to your application.farzak wrote:From what I know, the Huzzah has 16 Mb of flash. Its just a matter of allocating it.
