Murphy's law seems to strike again for me. My current project is simply sending some temperature data to my Pi with my Wemos D1 mini. I finally got everything working smoothly, or so I thought. After an hour or two of running a loop that reads the temp sensors and sends the readings to the webserver, it crashes with this error:

Code: Select all

File "esp8266temptest4.py", line 117, in go
File "esp8266temptest4.py", line 110, in send_data
File "urequests.py", line 104, in post
TypeError: unexpected keyword argument 'crc8'

my function that sends the temperature readings:

Code: Select all

def send_data():
		url = 'http://[webserveripaddress]/php/rsensor.php'
		headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
		datas = "data=" + str(basic_temp) + "&" + "data2=" + str(advanced_temp)
		urequests.post(url, data=datas, headers= headers)

It's funny, I think I had a similar, or the same problem, yesterday when I was trying to use urequests.
From what I have read, it looks like urequests leaves the connection open, it's up to you to close it, or the loop will keep opening sockets until it crashes.
What solves the problem so far to me is something like this:
r = urequests.get(data)
r.close()

Thanks for the suggestion, fangus. I'll have to give it a try. It finally crashed again but it now gave me a different error:

Code: Select all

File "esp8266temptest4.py", line 110, in send_data
NameError: local variable referenced before assignment

It's referring to the last line in my function in my OP.

Fangus, your suggestion worked. It's been running for a few days now without any crashes.
