You can find a benchmark here too: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5173

no if you flash spiram-firmware it will automatically use SPIRAM

it is definitely recommended as you will get 4MB of RAM whereas you otherwise just have 190kB. But if you are concerned about speed and 190kB is enough for you, then you could use a non-psram firmware.

In another thread, ntptime synchronization could be blocking, others said that the power source could be a problem resulting in a freeze of the board. In my own experience, all my esp8266 freeze every 1-3 days and need to be reset by a software watchdog using interrupts. This indicates that not ever...

Why bring up an ancient thread?

You get 5-15 reboots per day? That is way too much... Might be worth investigating if the ntptime synchronization is blocking that long or even freezing. I get at most 4 reboots per day and even that is quite rare.

Take a look at this awesome tutorial of Peter Hinch: https://github.com/peterhinch/micropyth ... ce-drivers

just put the class into your main file.

Considering that my boards freeze about once a day and get reset by my software watchdog using interrupts, it is quite possible that some vendor code of the esp8266 is the reason for the freeze as I could not find any other reason when I tried to debug that. Of course you could try to debug your cod...

Looks good to me. Good that it worked tonight.
