I am able to send data using espnow by writing the data to be sent to "buf" in the function "example_espnow_data_prepare". But the thing is when I increase the number of data to be sent this error comes up .( Here increasing the number of data means increasing the length of "buf" array

Code: Select all

 buf->payload[0] = 3423; 
    buf->payload[1] = 454;  
    buf->payload[2] = 354;  
    buf->payload[3] = 654;
    buf->payload[4] =34;
    buf->payload[5] = 564;
   
)
This is the error
***ERROR*** A stack overflow in task main has been detected.
I have seen from similar questions that this comes up because of not having the required stack depth. But increasing the value 2048 here

Code: Select all

xTaskCreate(example_espnow_task, "example_espnow_task", 2048, send_param, 4, NULL);
doesn't solve the problem. I even tried using 30,000.

Any suggestion would be really helpful. Thankss in advance

xTaskCreate(example_espnow_task, "example_espnow_task", 2048, send_param, 4, NULL);
Increasing the stack there does not help as it's not the task which stack is overflowing; per the error message, it's the 'main' task stack that is the problem. You can adjust the stack it gets in menuconfig.

Where can I find the menuconfig in my project. There doesn't seem to be any menuconfig file in the project. And how can I adjust the stack it gets. Can you please explain that as well. Thank you.

I think the error is misleading and here is your error:

Code: Select all

uint32_t payload[0]; //Real payload of ESPNOW data.
