Esp32 performance unreliable

[jaaaamIron]

Hi. I’ve noticed ESP32 performance to be very unreliable using this library compared to when I use it with ESP8266. Are there are ESP32 optimisations that are worth doing? I’m using NodeMCU 32S

Can you be more specific?
What does "unreliable" mean? Lag, speed, throughput or bad WiFi range?

Apologies for my vagueness.
It find it basically crashes and stops responding to inputs until manually rebooted. This doesn’t seem like a voltage drop/current draw issue. If I arp it it appears to still be there, but nothing updates. I’ve switched to your artnetwifi library which seems to be more stable.

I have tested my example ArtnetnodeWifiDebug all day long and can't see any crashes.
What is your setup? How do you handle the Art-Net data?

Hi, thank you for your reply. ArtnetnodeWifiDebug also works for me.
I am running your example ESP8266_Artnet_RGB_Led, but modified to use the ledc code which is neccessary for ESP32 PWM. I am using the function artnetnode.getDmxFrame()[X], and I am retreiving 1-3 addresses. I get fairly regular freezes - probably one around every 5 or 6 minutes.
