Continuous message sending through terminal

import meshtastic
import time
interface = meshtastic.SerialInterface()
while True:
interface.sendText(“hello sir”)
time.sleep(2)
interface.sendText(“good morning”)
time.sleep(2)
interface.sendText(“how are you?”)
time.sleep(2)

I am getting this error while trying to run the above code. Why no loop structure is not working? How can I send data repetitively on the device ?

I’m using this code to do, sends a message whit time and day and also print it on the terminal. I add a python file if is necessary.

import meshtastic
import time
from pubsub import pub

def onReceive(packet, interface): # called when a packet arrives
print(f"Received: {packet}")

def onConnection(interface, topic=pub.AUTO_TOPIC): # called when we (re)connect to the radio
# defaults to broadcast, specify a destination ID if you wish

while 1:
       str = time.strftime("%a, %H:%M:%S", time.localtime())
       interface.sendText(str)
       print(time.strftime("%a, %H:%M:%S", time.localtime()))
       time.sleep(60)

pub.subscribe(onReceive, “meshtastic.receive”)
pub.subscribe(onConnection, “meshtastic.connection.established”) # By default will try to find a meshtastic device, otherwise provide a device path like /dev/ttyUSB0

interface = meshtastic.SerialInterface()

Hmm. Do you see anything on the serial port if you press the reset button on the radio?

It seems like the python code never saw your device talking to out at startup (a good clue is that stack trace is before you called send text).

If you run “meshtastic --info” at your OS prompt, what does it say?

@folletto95 your code is giving the following syntax error:

    pub.subscribe(onReceive, “meshtastic.receive”)
                                       ^

This is the output of meshtastic --info command

It is also showing the communication using JSON format

I think you fell victim to a copypaste issue from the forum software. Your quotes include backwards quotes, python only understands the regular quote character.

hmm - that’s puzzling, because the “meshtastic --info” is doing almost the same thing as your “interface = meshtastic.SerialInterface()” which is failing. If you directly copy the example from the readme does it work?

import meshtastic
interface = meshtastic.SerialInterface() # By default will try to find a meshtastic device, otherwise provide a device path like /dev/ttyUSB0
interface.sendText("hello mesh") # or sendData to send binary data, see documentations for other options.
interface.close()

Yes, Kevin. You are absolutely right. my bad.

Yes, the original READ ME.md code which you have written in the github works fine now Thanks @geeksville .

This is the (hacked together) code I use to send the current time every 30 seconds over the mesh. It uses threads and allows other code to run between the send text stuff. Just replace what’s inside def sendText(): with anything you want to do.

import meshtastic
from pubsub import pub
import threading
import time
from time import sleep
import datetime

def onReceive(packet, interface): # called when a packet arrives
  print(f"Received: {packet}")

def onConnection(interface, topic=pub.AUTO_TOPIC): # called when we (re)connect to the radio
  print ("starting...")
  rt = RepeatedTimer(30, sendText) # no need of rt.start()

def sendText(): # called every x seconds
  currTime = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
  interface.sendText(currTime)
  print("Message sent: " + currTime)

pub.subscribe(onReceive, "meshtastic.receive")
pub.subscribe(onConnection, "meshtastic.connection.established")
# By default will try to find a meshtastic device, otherwise provide a device path like /dev/ttyUSB0
interface = meshtastic.SerialInterface()

class RepeatedTimer(object): # Timer helper class
  def __init__(self, interval, function, *args, **kwargs):
    self._timer = None
    self.interval = interval
    self.function = function
    self.args = args
    self.kwargs = kwargs
    self.is_running = False
    self.next_call = time.time()
    self.start()

  def _run(self):
    self.is_running = False
    self.start()
    self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

  def start(self):
    if not self.is_running:

@thepoweroftwo Thank you so much, it is working very smoothly now.

I keep losing connection between the Raspberry and the T-Beam: meshtastic --info works for a while, then spit out a “Timed out waiting for connection completion”. I then have to power-cycle the USB port (or physically disconnect and reconnect the T-Beam) for meshtastic to regain communication with the board.

Everything is up-to-date and I really don’t have a clue…

Hmm. Just double checking: while the tbeam is connected via USB - is it’s oled display staying on?

It is not! I thought the boards would always be responsive when polled through USB.

P.S.: yes, --set-router is on.

hmm - can you post a serial log (921600 baud) of the device booting up (i.e. connect serial terminal app, start logging, press reset button on device - capture the first 10ish seconds of life)

@IZ1IVA Run the following command on your terminal if you are using Linux

$screen
$screen /dev/ttyUSB0 921600 8-N-1

I can, but it’s going to be pretty long :flushed:

It’s a 160+ KB file, so I’ve only pasted it’s head and tail. The first part is a long repetition of similar blocks, of which I have only pasted the first four or so (Head). After that some data of the configuration and network follow (Tail).

GPS prepare sleep!

Thanks, I’ve installed screen and enabled logging. Still trying to figure out how to use it :thinking:

I did something like this:

uhubctl -l 1-1 -p 2 -a 2 && sleep 1 && screen -L /dev/ttyUSB0 921600 8-N-1

Oh that had what I needed.

The “axp192 not found” was key. Something is busted with either that chip or the i2c bus. Without that chip we can’t get charge/power info so it never realizes we are powered by USB.

I’ll make a bug to change that failure into a fault message we show on the screen.

I see… but then I get the same behaviour with LoRa32 boards, which AFAIK don’t have that chip.

I’ve checked all my boards, that is two T-Beams (one reports a working AXP192) and two LoRa32 and they all shut down the display and USB communication after a while. IIRC, that wasn’t the case with earlier firmwares. I’d better try older firmware revisions to check if my memory is correct.
