i am making post requests with esp8266 on nodeMCU. i have a messy code so i dont want to annoy you with showing it here. the problem is i get soft wdt reset time to time while making request. for example i change piece of code(removing or adding some serial.println lines) and i see i get soft wdt reset right there in http.post.

i tried my best to avoid Strings. I only used a few times, without in the loop. I am only using WiFiClientSecureBearSSL with FirebaseESP8266.

do you have any idea what cause this problem?

  • Connected direct you your computer? Not through an unpowered hub?

  • It is connected directly to the usb port. Why is there something wrong with it?

  • No. Quite the opposite. I have seen WDT timeouts when the board has been under-powered, but that's not the case here.

Show examples of the error - and install ESPexeption decoder to analyse the stack trace this will at least show why the wdt was caused
So the only thing as of now I can recommend
There is an issue with bearssl:

It's a WDT error caused by an extended SSL negotiation.

  • Change the core frequency to 160MHz (if not already done) and try again.
  • Use instead of LWIP1.4 (memory hog) low-mem LWIP2.0 with your program.
  • Since SSL negotiation can take 5 seconds even at 160MHz for some websites be sure by adding a yield() not to trigger a wdt reset

So without code/ trace and error messages its hard to guess
