Rules crashing the ESP

[Shardan]

Hello all,
i'm running into a problem with rules.

Device: NodeMCU V3, ESPeasy R131.
Using a GP2Y-dust sensor, an OLED display and a RGB LED.
The sensor works well, display too. I wanted the LED as a quick indicator of air quality
and used some rules for color changing (don't be annoyed by the values, it's just for testing)
The LED is connected via standard NPN transistors to GPIO 12,14 and 15

Code: Select all

on GP2Y#Dust do
   if [GP2Y#Dust] > 160
      gpio,14,0
   else
      gpio,14,1
   endif
   if [GP2Y#Dust] > 80
      gpio,12,1
   endif
   if [GP2Y#Dust] < 81
      gpio,12,0
   endif
   if [GP2Y#Dust] > 320
      gpio,12,0
   endif  
   if [GP2Y#Dust] > 240
      gpio,15,1
   else
      gpio,15,0
   endif
   if [GP2Y#Dust] > 400
      gpio,12,0
      gpio,15,0
      gpio,14,0
   endif
endon

The rules script works basically but it resets the ESP randomly, sometimes at once after start, sometimes after a minute.

The serial output looks like this:

Code: Select all

I separated the sensor, Display and LED to another power supply, put capacitors on the power supply of the ESP-chip, took another power supply for the chip itself... nothing changed. The only way to stop from crashing is disabling or deleting the rules.

Any idea anyone?

Some further info:
Complied with: Arduino 1.6.11, ESP-Core 2.3, libraries given with R120.

I did some further testing and it showed that the rules do the crash but they are not the reason.
For testing i deleted and deactivated rules completely in ESPeasy and run a simple wget-batch from my pc:

Code: Select all

LOOP
D:\ExtProgramme\WinWGET64\wget.exe 192.168.17.197/control?cmd=GPIO,12,1 > nul
D:\ExtProgramme\WinWGET64\wget.exe 192.168.17.197/control?cmd=GPIO,14,1 > nul
D:\ExtProgramme\WinWGET64\wget.exe 192.168.17.197/control?cmd=GPIO,15,1 > nul
D:\ExtProgramme\WinWGET64\wget.exe 192.168.17.197/control?cmd=GPIO,12,0 > nul
D:\ExtProgramme\WinWGET64\wget.exe 192.168.17.197/control?cmd=GPIO,14,0 > nul
D:\ExtProgramme\WinWGET64\wget.exe 192.168.17.197/control?cmd=GPIO,15,0 > nul
goto LOOP

And voila! Even running this script leads to a exception and resets the ESP-Chip.
Further checking with simply switching on and off a single GPIO shows that my NodeMCU (ESP-12E) is rather sensitive with settiong GPIOs.
At least switching GPIOs 2,9,10 and 15 on and off leads to an exception and a reset by watchdog.

Is this behaviour correct?

In my humble opinion GPIOs are made for this?
