non blocking LoRa receiver fails after ten thousand iterations

from network import LoRa

lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORA)
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)

s.setblocking(False)

print('start program')

while True:

Hi @Baruch1966,

This was a known issue with the Watchdog Timer in the Wipy 2.0 and LoPy. Please download the latest firmare version and try your code again.

Best,

Firmware 0.9.3.b2 had an issue where it wouldn't feed the watchdog, leading to crashes for anything that kept the Python core busy (for about 4 seconds), including large file transfers and tight loops. You could work around it by calling time.sleep_ms(1) but that would naturally cause a delay. This issue seems resolved in release 0.9.4.b1.
