new [BUG] with Christmas Edition 2024 ---> RTTTL doesn't full play #5212

dyter69 · 2025-01-04T16:54:28Z

Command rtttl:

Work with ESP_Easy_mega_20240822_collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k
Not work with ESP_Easy_mega_20241222_collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k

(I play with 5V buzzer on GPIO15 pin)

tonhuisman · 2025-01-04T18:01:30Z

I'll check if this command was excluded from the build or has stopped working for another reason.

tonhuisman · 2025-01-04T19:08:39Z

@dyter69
I've found the culprit, AFAICS, and applied a fix. This Actions run is building the PR, can you please test once the build is complete?

You can download the Bin-ESP32-collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k-20250104_PR_5213_12612976911 (.zip) file, extract the .bin file (not the .factory.bin) and upload using the Update Firmware button on the Tools page.

dyter69 · 2025-01-04T19:35:37Z

Thanks for reply, I tested but same problem, I hear only the fist note of music, sometime second note and third !

I use many devices on my ESP32:

tonhuisman · 2025-01-04T20:01:59Z

Ah, that it actually started playing wasn't clear from the OP, I got the impression the command wasn't included in the build 🤔

It this case it may be something to do with the framework being updated to IDF 5.1.x/5.3.x. More investigation is needed.

dyter69 · 2025-01-04T20:31:50Z

the command work ! but something stop the sound after one second I think

tonhuisman · 2025-01-04T21:16:37Z

A few options:

Can you switch to another GPIO pin, if only for testing? (even though GPIO 15 isn't a special GPIO)
Do you have a rule that turns off the GPIO to stop the sound? (was sometimes needed for the old implementation, but shouldn't be needed any longer), playing the sound is now handled async, no longer blocking, and should fully stop/be quiet once completed.

dyter69 · 2025-01-05T08:38:41Z

Sorry but I have switched to 20230304 because I have lot of lost wifi connections since the 20240414. And I found if the GPIO2 trigged to 1 will cause boot problem.

tonhuisman · 2025-01-11T11:25:41Z

@dyter69 The RTTTL feature needed a fix because of the IDF 5.x updates. These are now applied, and this GH Actions run is building for you to test.
Can you please report your findings?

TD-er · 2025-01-11T11:47:40Z

And I found if the GPIO2 trigged to 1 will cause boot problem

What do you mean by this remark?
If it is when pulling the GPIO-2 to some state, it will not boot, then that's nothing new.
It is part of how ESP32 and ESP8266 operate. See: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Reference/GPIO.html#esp32-classic
So I guess you mean something different?

dyter69 · 2025-01-11T14:30:26Z

ok I tested with ESP_Easy_mega_20250111_collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k, buzzer work longer but music is bad with somes noises

TD-er · 2025-01-11T14:53:20Z

Do you have an IR receiver task active?
Can you check if it makes a difference when you disable such a task?

dyter69 · 2025-01-11T15:19:45Z

Yes same problem when I disable all device, I listen a modem sound !

dyter69 · 2025-01-11T15:36:47Z

It's strange, but sometimes it works with some notes are missing

tonhuisman · 2025-01-11T15:58:27Z

Can you share the RTTTL command(s) you're using?
The playback is very dependent on the amount of time that is shared by other plugins, as TD-er already suggested by asking to disable all other tasks, so if the load is high, it may miss some notes. But that's not really changed since the last builds, though maybe the base-load is somewhat higher on the IDF 5.x releases.

This also means that playing a song on startup of the ESP is nearly impossible, as the load is then quite high for ca. 1 minute (depending f.e. on WiFi and P2P being enabled). Once the system-load stabilizes playback should be reasonable.

dyter69 · 2025-01-11T16:01:11Z

It's been working like this for 3 years, and I've been updating it regularly, system load is about 30%:

TD-er · 2025-01-11T16:02:11Z

Just a thought... if you have a status LED defined (top of Hardware tab), can you disable this, save the settings and power cycle the ESP board.

dyter69 · 2025-01-11T16:04:06Z

same problem, I go bak to ESP_Easy_mega_20240822_collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k and work fine !

TD-er · 2025-01-11T16:24:26Z

Can you copy what is shown on the sysinfo page about the used SDK version?
And info about the CPU section?

dyter69 · 2025-01-11T16:29:55Z

This last firmware so work ESP_Easy_mega_20240822_collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k:

TD-er · 2025-01-11T16:34:56Z

And which GPIO are you using for the RTTTL?

dyter69 · 2025-01-11T16:36:25Z

15 (you can see it in the previous conversations)

TD-er · 2025-01-11T16:39:21Z

I don't think it makes a difference what pin is used, but just to be sure I can first reproduce what you're seeing

tonhuisman · 2025-01-11T20:19:20Z

It's been working like this for 3 years, and I've been updating it regularly, system load is about 30%:

http://192.168.0.15/control?cmd=rtttl,15:d=32,o=5,b=63:16e,f,e,8b,16e6,f6,e6,8b,16e,f,e,16b,16e6,4d6,8p,4p,16e,f,e,8b,16e6,f6,e6,8b,16e,f,e,16b,16e6,4f6
http://192.168.0.15/control?cmd=rtttl,15:d=4,o=5,b=250:e,8p,8f,8g,8p,1c6,8p.,d,8p,8e,1f,p.,g,8p,8a,8b,8p,1f6,p,a,8p,8b,2c6,2d6,2e6,e,8p,8f,8g,8p,1c6,p,d6,8p,8e6,1f.6,g,8p,8g,e.6,8p,d6,8p,8g,e.6,8p,d6,8p,8g,f.6,8p,e6,8p,8d6,2c6
...

Hmm, you're missing a comma after the GPIO pin 15 there, in both commands... that'll make some difference, I assume 🤔

Edit: Well, this command is rather forgiving, but there should be a comma, as that issue might be fixed some day...

tonhuisman · 2025-01-11T20:34:05Z

@dyter69 I've been made aware of a typo I made in the previous build, that I fixed now. A new build is running here, can you please test again, to see if this solves the playback?
I've tried your songs, but they don't play very nice, could you also try to play the Arkanoid song from the examples?
rtttl,15,Arkanoid:d=4,o=5,b=140:8g6,16p,16g.6,2a#6,32p,8a6,8g6,8f6,8a6,2g6

TD-er · 2025-01-15T07:10:35Z

@dyter69 Were you able to test the test build linked by Ton?

uzi18 · 2025-01-15T12:08:23Z

Both examples works ok here: https://adamonsoon.github.io/rtttl-play/
Arkanoid also tested ok.

tonhuisman · 2025-01-15T12:23:09Z

Both examples works ok here: https://adamonsoon.github.io/rtttl-play/ Arkanoid also tested ok.

We're trying to solve an issue about not properly playing RTTTL songs at all. The poor playback in my test-setup may be caused by the ESP or buzzer I'm using, as the provided songs don't sound very nice too my ears but Arkanoid plays 'normal', so there remain 2 questions:

Does it play as expected for @dyter69 with the latest code adjustments?
Does the Arkanoid song play as is to be expected (you can use the adamonsoon site for reference), with rather clearly defined notes? (the other songs sound quite blurry)

NB: The blurry playback may be related to the buzzer I'm using, and the frequencies it works best with.

dyter69 · 2025-01-15T18:07:52Z

I all ready tested with Bin-ESP32-collection_A_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k-20250104 and sound is poor

TD-er · 2025-01-15T20:44:04Z

I all ready tested with Bin-ESP32-collection_A_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k-20250104 and sound is poor

But did you test with the build linked by Ton here: #5212 (comment)
As he had a typo in his code where ESP32-code wasn't included in the build....

dyter69 · 2025-01-15T21:14:06Z

yes same problem

tonhuisman · 2025-01-15T22:15:28Z

@dyter69 I've hooked up an ESP32 with 4MB Flash, and installed the same build you used. First tested with the 2023-ish build on that unit, and playback sounded quite normal, so I knew what to expect/achieve 🙄
Using the previous fixes it sounded quite bad, and the volume was higher then before, so after reviewing the code I tested the small fix I made now, and sound is the same as with the old build.
A fresh GH Actions run is building, so if you can please verify it also works for you, we can resolve this issue.
TIA.

dyter69 · 2025-01-16T07:27:08Z

Ok I flash ESP_Easy_mega_20250115_collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k:

it almost works but at times it sounds like a cricket or modem !

tonhuisman · 2025-01-16T07:40:29Z

it almost works but at times it sounds like a cricket or modem !

That is most likely caused by (busy) activity of the ESP, it's using cooperative multi-tasking like scheduling, for that's how the AnyRtttl library works.
I'll see how that can possibly be improved, but will probably have to wait a bit.
I suggest this fix be merged now, as the fix (only) involves the playing of sounds that wasn't working anymore because of changes in the IDF 5.x framework, and not by the implementation in ESPEasy or changes in the AnyRtttl library.
Any further improvements should IMHO better be handled separately.

dyter69 · 2025-01-16T07:51:11Z

no problem I downgrade to ESP_Easy_mega_20240822_collection_B_ESP32_IRExt_4M316k, thank !

TD-er · 2025-01-16T08:01:13Z

Discussed with Ton and it is best to merge the fixes for now as it is at least an improvement.
However, there might still be room for improvement when running the RTTTL playback on an ESP32 in a separate RTOS task.

So that's why I will re-open it for now so it will remain 'in focus'.
