ESP32 multi-tasking?

Hello, @alvarolb
Apparently, we have discovered the source of a conflict (See discussion at this link).

Everything indicates that using FreeRTOS + Thinger ( thing.start(); in core 0) and calling thing.is_connected() in core 1 (very frequently) causes some access conflict, which generates the SSL error (discussed in this topic: link).

This leaves a question: do we need to do any blocking when we call the thing object in the loop of core 1?
Ex:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  thing.start();
}

void loop() {
   delay(1000);

          if(thing.is_connected() == true) {        
            Serial.println("Connected!");
          }
}

What approach do we need to take in the code? This one?

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
   thing.start();
}

void loop() {
   delay(1000);

      thing.lock();

         if(thing.is_connected() == true) {        
            Serial.println("Connected!");
          }

      thing.unlock();
}
