Crashes on ESP8266 - Exception (29)

Client Libraries
1

App with thiger.io worked great, until I added Adafruit GFX library and started to work with ST7735 display. Now it crashes right in the first occurence of calling thing.handle(). Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Here is decoded stack and error:

OK, I got it. I’m running out of memory. :frowning:

Ups! :open_mouth:

In the latest library version (available in github master, but not in the library manager from arduino IDE), you can try to disable the output buffer by adding

#define THINGER_DISABLE_OUTPUT_BUFFER

before any other include. It should improve the memory usage while sending messages. Does the Adafruit GFX library use many dynamic memory?

I don’t think that Adafruit GFX uses “that much” memory, but my memory management in project is rather poor, so I had to disable some huge buffers I had for certain routines. I don’t think it an issue caused by any particular library (neither graphics, nor thinger’s), just project gets too complicated and memory is badly managed…
