ESP32 Forum

Hello community

I try to send via UDP data from my ESP32 to my laptop. Sending the data in the loop()-fuction works without any problems.
Now I want to send the data using an interrupt fuction (timer based).

void IRAM_ATTR onTimer()
{
Serial.println("test");
if(connected){
//Send a packet
udp.beginPacket(udpAddress,udpPort);
udp.printf("test");
udp.endPacket();
}
}

The timer starts and the ESP32 connects to my wifi, but after 2 seconds the ESP32 resets. Then the timer starts again and the ESP32 connects again and so on.
Without sending data via udp there is no reset.

DO you have any ideas what my problem is?

Thanks for you help

There's a fair few things you can't do in an interrupt... and println and sending UDP data likely are not things that are allowed there. Suggest reworking your interrupt to simply set a flag or semaphore or something, and doing the actual printing and sending in a task (maybe your main loop function can do it?).
