The project streams audio from an INMP441 I2S microphone to a TCP server over WiFi. + +## Code Style & Conventions + +### Naming Conventions +- **Constants**: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g., `WIFI_SSID`, `I2S_SAMPLE_RATE`) +- **Functions**: `camelCase` (e.g., `gracefulShutdown()`, `checkMemoryHealth()`) +- **Variables**: `snake_case` (e.g., `free_heap`, `audio_buffer`) +- **Classes/Structs**: `PascalCase` (e.g., `SystemStats`, `StateManager`) +- **Defines**: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` + +### Code Organization +- Includes at top with logical sections +- Function declarations before globals +- Use section separators: `// ===== Section Name =====` +- Static buffers preferred over heap allocation +- All timeouts and delays should be constants from `config.h` + +### Arduino-Specific +- Use Arduino types: `uint8_t`, `uint32_t`, `unsigned long` +- Prefer `millis()` over `delay()` for timing +- Non-blocking operations whenever possible +- Feed watchdog timer in main loop + +## Architecture Principles + +### State Machine +- Explicit states: `INITIALIZING`, `CONNECTING_WIFI`, `CONNECTING_SERVER`, `CONNECTED`, `ERROR` +- Clear state transitions with logging +- State validation to prevent corruption + +### Error Handling +- Three-tier error classification: + - `TRANSIENT`: Retry likely to succeed + - `PERMANENT`: Reinitialization needed + - `FATAL`: System restart required +- Use logging macros: `LOG_INFO()`, `LOG_WARN()`, `LOG_ERROR()`, `LOG_CRITICAL()` +- Always log state changes and errors + +### Memory Management +- Static allocation preferred +- Monitor heap with trend detection +- Warn at 40KB free, critical at 20KB free +- Track peak and minimum heap usage + +## Key Design Patterns + +### 1. Configuration Validation +All configuration must be validated at startup. Never start with invalid config: +```cpp +if (!ConfigValidator::validateAll()) { + // Halt and log errors + while(1) { delay(5000); } +} +``` + +### 2. Non-Blocking Operations +Use timers instead of delays: +```cpp +NonBlockingTimer timer(INTERVAL, true); +if (timer.check()) { + // Do periodic task +} +``` + +### 3. Watchdog Protection +Feed watchdog in every loop iteration: +```cpp +void loop() { + esp_task_wdt_reset(); // Always first + // ... rest of loop +} +``` + +### 4. Circuit Breaker (Planned) +For repeated failures, use circuit breaker pattern to prevent resource exhaustion. + +### 5. State Validation +Periodically validate system state matches reality: +```cpp +bool wifi_actual = WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED; +bool wifi_state = NetworkManager::isWiFiConnected(); +if (wifi_actual != wifi_state) { + // Fix state mismatch +} +``` + +## Common Patterns + +### Adding New Features +1. Add configuration constants to `src/config.h` +2. Add validation to `src/config_validator.h` +3. Implement with error handling +4. Add logging at key points +5. Update documentation +6. Add tests if applicable + +### Error Handling Template +```cpp +bool myFunction() { + // Try operation + esp_err_t result = someESP32Function(); + + if (result != ESP_OK) { + // Classify error + ErrorType type = classifyError(result); + + // Log appropriately + if (type == TRANSIENT) { + LOG_WARN("Transient error: %d - retry", result); + } else if (type == PERMANENT) { + LOG_ERROR("Permanent error: %d - reinit needed", result); + } else { + LOG_CRITICAL("Fatal error: %d", result); + } + + return false; + } + + return true; +} +``` + +### Adding Serial Commands +See `src/serial_command.cpp` for examples.

Every 5 minutes, system prints statistics + - Look for: `I2S errors: X` + - If increasing, I2S is failing + +2. **Verify microphone is working:** + - Connect multimeter to INMP441 SD (data) pin + - Should see signal activity (voltage fluctuations) + - No activity = microphone not producing signal + +3. **Check INMP441 power:** + - Measure 3.3V at VDD pin + - Measure GND connection + - Both must be solid (use volt meter) + +4. **Verify clock signals:** + - SCK (clock) pin should show ~1 MHz square wave + - WS (sync) pin should show ~16 kHz square wave + - Requires oscilloscope to verify + +5. **Try increasing I2S buffer:** + ```cpp + #define I2S_DMA_BUF_COUNT 16 // More DMA buffers + #define I2S_BUFFER_SIZE 8192 // Larger main buffer + ``` + +6. **Reduce other processing:** + - High CPU load may cause I2S to miss data + - Check memory usage - if low, increase warning threshold + +--- + +### I2S Read Errors After Hours of Operation + +**Symptoms:** +- Works fine initially +- After 1+ hours, I2S errors start +- Eventually stops receiving audio + +**Likely Cause:** +Memory leak causing I2S buffers to fragment. + +**Solution:** + +1. **Check memory statistics:** + - Look at stats output every 5 min + - Watch free heap trend + - If constantly decreasing = memory leak + +2. **Increase check intervals** to monitor better: + ```cpp + #define MEMORY_CHECK_INTERVAL 30000 // Check every 30 sec + #define STATS_PRINT_INTERVAL 120000 // Print every 2 min + ``` + +3. **Identify leak source:** + - May be in I2S, WiFi, or TCP code + - Check if error count increases with I2S failures + - Compare memory before/after disconnect + +4. **Workaround**: Periodic restart: + - Automatic restart if heap < 20KB (built-in) + - Or schedule daily restart via code + +--- + +## Memory & Performance Issues + +### "Memory Low" Warnings Appearing + +**Symptoms:** +``` +Memory low: 35000 bytes +``` + +**Not Critical But Monitor:** + +1. **Check what's using memory:** + - Larger I2S buffers use more RAM + - Multiple network connections use more RAM + - Logging buffers use more RAM + +2. **Reduce non-essential buffers:** + ```cpp + #define I2S_BUFFER_SIZE 2048 // Reduce from 4096 + #define I2S_DMA_BUF_COUNT 4 // Reduce from 8 + ``` + +3. **Increase check frequency:** + - See if memory is stable or trending down + - Stable = normal operation + - Decreasing = potential leak + +--- + +### "Critical Low Memory" - System Restarting + +**Symptoms:** +- System constantly restarting +- Memory reaching < 20KB +- "Memory critically low - initiating graceful restart" + +**Solution:** + +This is a safety feature - system is protecting itself from crash. + +1. **Immediate action:** + - Disconnect from WiFi + - Recompile without I2S + - Identify memory leak + +2. **Find the leak:** + - Check for unbounded allocations + - Look for string concatenations in loops + - Verify no circular queue buildup + +3. **Temporary workaround:** + - Increase critical threshold (not recommended): + ```cpp + #define MEMORY_CRITICAL_THRESHOLD 10000 // More aggressive + ``` + - Better: Fix the actual leak + +4. **Use memory profiling:** + - Add memory tracking at key points + - Print heap before/after sections + - Narrow down leak source + +--- + +## Build & Upload Issues + +### "Board Not Found" During Upload + +**Error:** +``` +Error: No device found on COM port +``` + +**Solutions:** + +1. **Check USB connection:** + -
