Hello Particle Community! This is my first post! So, while I’ve been reading through the guidlines etc. I might get some things wrong, so please gently point me in the right direction if I misbehave :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I’m also a web developer by heart and super fresh into the Particle s…

Your issue sounds similar to this [image] Electron led goes to constant Cyan Troubleshooting The reason is that a special feature to finish pending requests was implemented for the Electron only (for some obscure reason sunglasses) If your code in deed is freezing (RGB LE…

After much debugging (running different code variations on ~8 Electrons continuously/without sleep overnight) and discussing with more experienced hardware developers/electrical engineers, I can post an initial update on the issue (not the least, for future developers experiencing the same issue): T…

[image] robinandersson: Although, as of last night we've also experienced this freeze with the included Battery from Particle that definitely should be able to handle the load Whether the battery will be able to cope or not also depends on your extra components powered off this same battery. …

Good points worth pointing out @ScruffR :slight_smile: we’ve considered this as well. Of the components listed in my (very long) initial post; the buttons are passive components, and the screen is only 25 mA. So this should not cause issues since the battery can handle 1,5 A continuous discharge wi…

Okay so this is weird. We couldn’t pinpoint where in our code history the freezes started to occur (we managed to freeze one unit with code that we thought was completely safe). We reduced our code to a very barebones setup to see if the units would even manage that. Out of eight units, one had its…

[image] robinandersson: Observe the erroneous waitUntil in the restartCellular-function (and the accompanying comments). I think you got the right idea about this waitUntil(Cellular.ready) [image] How to handle Cellular connection loss on Electron Troubleshooting Ha…

Thanks for your continuous responses @ScruffR :slight_smile: Could you be more specific on what I’ve got the right idea about? (to clarify, I had multiple ideas about that particular code block). Or do you mean the code works as initially intended? Thanks!

Sorry, I was refering to the quoted bit of your post about waitUntil() and your related comment in code [image] robinandersson: void restartCellular() { Cellular.off(); // this waitUntil was a mistake, but it should't cause the solid LED right? // (shouldn't the code get stuck in an infinite…

Cool :thumbsup: We have updated the code and will continue the debugging process

I do not use any other additional source code to maintain the connection except watcdog timer and for now works well. I use Firmware 0.6.1, SYSTEM_THREAD (ENABLED), and SYSTEM_MODE (SEMI_AUTOMATIC). Sometimes a problem occurs with the loss of connection when it starts flashing rapidly green, and on…
