I need help with a webserver project...
-
@rop I've just tried what you said but with no luck at all (it seems to be worst than before)... It must be something related to M5Stack, 'cause if I set another Arduino with the IP of M5Stack it gets a request every minute and it works as intended to. I'l try to setup a program without M5ez and see if it works that way, maybe there's something wrong with interactions between it and the webserver part...
Thank you for all your help! -
@rop I found where the error was! I was streaming my GET request string to the client with multiple prints and while it is OK for connecting to a web site I send data to and to my MySQL database, it was not OK for the M5Stack.
I set up a buffer string, printed all my data in it and then use it to send data to my client object and now it work flawless! I got my stream of data sent every minute! -

Could you please help me with this backtrace I got few moments ago?

@crazyhorse80 Looks like it somehow crashed while M5ez was printing the on-screen clock, but no clue why. Try turning off the on-screen clock... Shouldn't do this no matter what though.
-
I need the clock... :( I have that same error every 5 / 7 minutes, it restarts and works for a few minutes again and so on...
Maybe I can do some test without the clock to see if it is the cause of the problem... -
@crazyhorse80 Maybe show the whole code you're running now?

It's only a part of what I want to achieve and here I'll try to explain what my project should do when it'll be complete:
every minute my M5Stack will receive from another Arduino board an HTTP GET request with data and it stores them in global variables and eventually does some operation with them;
it should have a multi-page view to show data received and stored in variables (one displays data in numeric form, another will display them in graphs, another one will only change screen background color and make some noise based on data received, and maybe some more);
it also should have access to the menus to change wi-fi and screen preferences and some more options related to my program (sound volume, default page to display on startup and so on).
I'd also like to have some more widgets:
one will have to show me if data received is older than one minute (it means I've lost connection with the Arduino board);
another one will have to show the current energy billing band based on what time and day of week it is.
The problem with M5ez, and ESP32 in general, is that I've no clue of where to put my code: do I have to do all in loop() function? Or should I register various functions with ez.addEvent()? Or should I do it some other way? I'm a bit confused... Can you show me a proof of concept application using M5ez (even if not related to my needs, so I could understand how it works)? -

Zooming out and looking at your propject:
-
Have you considered using mqtt ? I'm no expert, but it seems built for jobs that involve getting values from A to B, figuring out if the sending side is still there, etc etc. All sorts of Arduino libraries for sending and receiving end.
-
How to switch between functionality that runs concurrently is always an issue, and there are often more ways to accomplish the same thing. So don't worry too much if it seems hard now. It gets easier to wrap one's head around the program flow with experience, and it sucks in the beginning.
Specifically for this project:
-
To make widgets, after reading the user manual it's probably best to study the clock-related code in M5ez.cpp to see how it does its widget things.
-
All web handling is done by the webserver code which you have placed in M5ez's main loop with
ez.addEvent
. The difference between placing code there and placing it in your sketch'sloop()
function is thatloop()
is not called when M5ez is waiting for input (like in menus, msgBox, etc etc). -
There is a way to add your own items to the M5ez settings menu. It's in the manual, but again: also look at how it's done inside M5ez.cpp, for example with the clock code.
Good luck!

Thanks for your help, I'll try to follow your directions in the following days.
