Again: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted

Hello together,

I am playing with Cayenne the first time and already got an error.
No data is shown at the dashboard or at the live-data-tab, just this error:

Error (1.656 sec)
Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262406236 bytes)

The TTGO T-Call (ESP32 with SIM800/MQTT) sends the data without any problems.

These is just the demo-data-channel with the uptime-data.

I already tried to reregister the device, but with no luck. Another sensor/ESP32/WiFi/MQTT is working fine.

This does not seem to be the first time, this error occur and I already messaged @shramik_salgaonkar about this:

Does somebody know, how to solve it? Or at least, why it appears?

Thanks a lot,
lorian

can you share the code you are using.

Of course, but it is a horrible bad quality:

  delay(500);

  // Restart takes quite some time
  // To skip it, call init() instead of restart()
  Serial.println("Initializing modem...");
  modem.restart();
  // Or, use modem.init() if you don't need the complete restart

  String modemInfo = modem.getModemInfo();
  Serial.print("Modem: ");
  Serial.println(modemInfo);
  
  //Serial.println("Setup Cayenne...");
  Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, gsmSerial, apn, gprsLogin, gprsPassword, pin);
  Serial.println("OK!");

}




void loop() {
  //Run Cayenne Functions
  Cayenne.loop();
	if (CayenneSent){
      Serial.println("Sent all values - sleeping");
      delay(100);
      ESP.deepSleep(SleepTime);
      delay(100);
    }
}

CAYENNE_OUT_DEFAULT()
{
    Cayenne.virtualWrite(0, millis());
    //Set CayenneSent to true so we know when to sleep
    CayenneSent = true;
}

Thanks,

can you delete the widget from the dashboard and change:

to

Cayenne.virtualWrite(1, 22, "temp", "c");

after you upload the code, it will auto create a new green widget. Add it by clicking on “+” on the widget.

Also, i would suggest you remove the sleep for time being for testing.
