ESP32: Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (StoreProhibited) in GY521 I2C project

Question

Good afternoon, I hope you are well.

I'm new here on SO, I apologize in advance for my English.

I'm doing a project with 4 accelerometers and a TCA9548A multiplexer to talk to an esp32. The samples of the 4 sensors are correct, but this error appears "ESP32: Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (StoreProhibited)" at the beginning of each sample, and I would like to know what I could modify in the code to resolve this error.

#include <Adafruit_MPU6050.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Wire.h>

Adafruit_MPU6050 mpu1;
Adafruit_MPU6050 mpu2;
Adafruit_MPU6050 mpu3;
Adafruit_MPU6050 mpu4;
unsigned long _time;

void TCA9548A(uint8_t bus){
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x70);  // TCA9548A address
  Wire.write(1 << bus);          // send byte to select bus
  Wire.endTransmission();
}

void printValues(Adafruit_MPU6050 mpu, int bus) {
  sensors_event_t a, g, temp;
  mpu.getEvent(&a, &g, &temp);
  TCA9548A (bus);
  Serial.print("Sensor: ");
  Serial.println(bus);
  Serial.print("Eixo X:");
  Serial.print(a.acceleration.x);
  Serial.print(" m/s^2, ");
  Serial.print("\tEixo Y:");
  Serial.print(a.acceleration.y);
  Serial.print(" m/s^2, ");
  Serial.print("\tEixo Z:");
  Serial.print(a.acceleration.z);
  Serial.print(" m/s^2,");
  Serial.print("\t Temperatura: ");
  Serial.print(temp.temperature);
  Serial.println(" °C");
}

void setup(void) {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin();

  TCA9548A(2);
  if (!mpu1.begin(0x68)) {
    Serial.println("Could not find a valid BME280 sensor on bus 2, check wiring!");
    while (1);
  }
  Serial.println();
  
  // Init sensor on bus number 3
  TCA9548A(3);
  if (!mpu2.begin(0x68)) {
    Serial.println("Could not find a valid BME280 sensor on bus 3, check wiring!");
    while (1);
  }
  Serial.println();
  
  // Init sensor on bus number 4
  TCA9548A(4);
  if (!mpu3.begin(0x68)) {
    Serial.println("Could not find a valid BME280 sensor on bus 4, check wiring!");
    while (1);
  }
  Serial.println();
  
  // Init sensor on bus number 5
  TCA9548A(5);
  if (!mpu4.begin(0x68)) {
    Serial.println("Could not find a valid BME280 sensor on bus 5, check wiring!");
    while (1);
  }
  Serial.println();
}

void loop() {
  printValues(mpu1, 2);
  printValues(mpu2, 3);
  printValues(mpu3, 4);
  printValues(mpu4, 5);
  yield();
  delay(100);
  }

On the serial monitor I get the following result

I went to the board manager and updated esp32, then when compiling the algorithm the following error appeared:

Answer 1

void printValues(Adafruit_MPU6050 mpu, int bus)

When you passing in an argument to a function, the function create a copy of whatever you are passing in as the parameter, in your code, you are passing an entire instance of Adafruit_MPU6050 object, which is big. What you should do is to change your code to pass in the pointer to the object (which is only 16-bit in Arduino) to the function.

void printValues(Adafruit_MPU6050* mpu, int bus) {  // passing pointer of mpu object
  TCA9548A (bus);
  sensors_event_t a, g, temp;
  mpu->getEvent(&a, &g, &temp);  // using pointer notation
  // rest of your code
}

I don't have the same hardware configuration as yours to test this code, you need to try and test it to confirm if this is working.
