Failed to write value to characteristic(Error trying to issue command mid state)

panjar

Hi All:
I am using the class TestGpioAdcPulse(TestMetaWearBase) test example as a guide (https://github.com/mbientlab/MetaWear-SDK-Cpp/blob/0.16.3/test/test_dataprocessor.py#L289) to create a Gpio Pin monitor script.

Here's my code snippet:

class TestGpioSensor():
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.device = MetaWear(sys.argv[1])
        self.handler_fn = FnVoid_VoidP_VoidP(self.proc_handler)
        self.state_handler_fn = FnVoid_VoidP_DataP(self.state_handler)
        self.status_handler_fn = FnVoid_VoidP_VoidP_Int(self.status_handler)
        self.pattern= LedPattern(repeat_count= 10)
        self.sensor_data_handler= FnVoid_VoidP_DataP(self.sensorDataHandler)
        self.event = Event()
        self.setUpGpio()
        self.t1 = Thread(target=self.flag)
        self.t2 = Thread(target=self.StartMonitoring)

    def handle_sensor_data(context, data):
        print("data received:  %s" % (parse_value(data)))

    def pulse_processor_created(self, context, pulse):
        self.pulse_signal= pulse
        libmetawear.mbl_mw_datasignal_subscribe(pulse, None, self.fn_wrapper)
        self.event.set()

    def setUpGpio(self):
        self.fn_wrapper = FnVoid_VoidP_DataP(self.handle_sensor_data)
        self.pulse_handler= FnVoid_VoidP_VoidP(self.pulse_processor_created)

    def WaitForGpio(self):
        self.gpio_adc_signal= libmetawear.mbl_mw_gpio_get_analog_input_data_signal(self.device.board, 0, GpioAnalogReadMode.ADC)
        libmetawear.mbl_mw_dataprocessor_pulse_create(self.gpio_adc_signal, PulseOutput.PEAK, 500.0, 10, None, self.pulse_handler)
        self.event.wait()

In WaitForGpio(self): calling libmetawear.mbl_mw_dataprocessor_pulse_create(self.gpio_adc_signal, PulseOutput.PEAK, 500.0, 10, None, self.pulse_handler) results in error:

             "Failed to write value to characteristic(Error trying to issue command mid state)"

Failed to write value to characteristic(Error trying to issue command mid state)

I tried to google for the error but could not find any direction.

Can anyone please help what I'm missing here?

Thank you.

Post a script that consistently produces this issue that can be run as is.

Monitor the BT adapter and post the activity log leading up to the crash.

Hi Eric:

Since you added data_fuser.py, I did a clean build/install the MetaWear-SDK-Python (0.6.1) and MetaWear-SDK-Cpp (0.17.0).

Then, to derive from data_fuser.py, first I ran data_fuser.py (unchanged, except adding the debug printfs) but the script seg faults when calling libmetawear.mbl_mw_datasignal_subscribe() on line 38 (https://github.com/mbientlab/MetaWear-SDK-Python/blob/0.6.1/examples/data_fuser.py):

spy35_env) pi@SS:~/SSquare/sspy35_env/MB/MetaWear-SDK-Python/examples $ python data_fuser.py F9:4E:B7:A1:F7:CE

Segmentation fault

If I comment out the mbl_mw_datasignal_subscribe() then the output is:

Once I get through the above problem I can step forward modifying for my application.

Thanks for your help.

Post the information I requested in my previous post.

Eric:
Here is the script I added print statements.
It crashes if I call libmetawear.mbl_mw_datasignal_subscribe().
There is no output other than the print statements I sent earlier.

Thanks

The data fuser script has nothing to do with the issue in this thread.

Post the information I requested in my previous post.

Since the old code is no longer being used in the pre-(data fuser) release, consider this issue closed. I wlll open a new one.
Thanks
