I have been trying to track down random re-boots on an ESP8266. By logging the time every minute it appears that these re-boots often occur when I try to access the device via WebREPL.

In order to access the device I have WiFi running all the time. I don't use rshell as that re-boots the board when you fire up a new session. To clarify I am accessing via the network not at http://192.168.4.1:8266/

Is there some way running the command <rshell> that will not re-boot the board or am I using WebREPL incorrectly?

Thanks,
Dave

Fundamentally, rshell needs to get to the REPL, which means that it needs to stop whatever is running on the board.

If you’re just trying to get a REPL then you would need to build that into your program.

OK on rshell.

I will change to "debugging" my program via a direct connection (192.168.4.1:8266) to the ESP8266 rather than through the network and see if that helps.

Thanks
