Star Wars demo crash

Post by MrWheeliebin » Fri Apr 14, 2017 7:59 pm

(My first posting so please be gentle. I did grep for Str Wars and got nothing)

So I ran the Star Wars demo which worked great through the UART. However, has anybody else found that if you run it over wifi via WebREPL it dies some time after the socket connection? I can get a few movie scenes in before it dies but it varies. I'm thinking it may be some sort of timing issue or buffer overload. I have to hard reset the chipset to get it up again.

Am I expecting too much from this demo? The UART REPL interface seems more stable but can also wig out with some (null) values repeating after a while. I'm not to fussed if this is a very basic demo but I just want to know if my hardware is flaky.

I so love this.
