Firmware v1.6 is doing weird things... [Bug]

[dl9sec]

Hi,

after a long time I updated my breadboard NTP server (AZ-Delivery ESP32 NodeMCU, DS3231, Perthold ST22 GPS, I2C display) from v1.2 (around the time where I discovered the GPS week rollover problem) to v1.6.
I uploaded the new data to the FS and deleted the EEPROM at the first startup.
Configuration went OK so far.
Then I observed the following problems:

• After a while the webinterface didn't respond anymore (timeout)
• Same with the NTP interface (tried to test with w32tm, but get a 0x800705B4 error -> NTP server didn't respond)
• The time on the display shows weird time: sometimes some seconds are skipped and the display shows a time some minutes in the future or some minutes in the past, but the time at the serial console is OK.

So currently the NTP server isn't usable for me.

Someone else having these problems?
Any ideas, what I am probably doing wrong?

Regards, Thorsten

It seems, that the time displaying problems were caused by a defect of the RTC's backup battery.
Will observe the webserver problem...

The RTC now seems to work, but there are still weird things:
Sometimes the display task seems to freeze for several minutes (display stucks, no refresh anymore). After that the time sometimes lacks for minutes until the next GPS sync...

I can confirm that FW1.6 is buggy. I have a device built from WEMOS Lolin32 with OLED, OpenSmart GPS module and DS3231 RTC. FW 1.4 is working fine but if I flash FW1.6 my device freezes after a few minutes and has to restart again. Something must be wrong in 1.6

My issue is now solved, see #13

Seems the Framework for the ESP32 got updated and results in some strange "functions". We try to figure out what we need to patch to make it work with the latest library revisions

On my MacBook Pro time is set totally wrong if I use NTP Server. Date now is 1.12.2022 but date is set to 13.8.2037!!! Even time is wrong (13 instead of 20). Time in display is correct.

Edit: I think that the solution is that line 190 (ntp_req.txTm_s = htonl(ntp_req.txTm_s);) of ntp_server.cpp has to be uncommented.

same issue, wrong date calc with latest code
