Lopy LoRa socket timeout



  • Hi, I’m noob with python and lora, I want to open a socket wait for a message, if there is no message then do something else, my code so far is:

      from network import LoRa
     import socket
     import machine
     import time
     import binascii
     import network
    
     n = 0
    try:
         the_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)
    except:
        exit('Error creating socket.')
    the_sock.settimeout(5)
    while True:
         try:
               n+=1
              print("Hola"+str(n))
              the_sock.setblocking(True)
              ack = the_sock.recv(64)
         except socket.timeout, e:
              err = e.args[0]
              print(err)
              break`
    

    The problem is that the timeout it’s not working, I’ve checked some answers but the code looks good to me, can you help me please?

    Kind Regards



  • @livius Thank you so much!!! that's exactly what I needed



  • @ahelllycan
    change this to

    the_sock.settimeout(5)
    ack = the_sock.recv(64)
    

    setblocking is only shortcut for timeout
    if you settimeout first and then setblocking you change timeout to none

    summary
    settimeout(None) == setblocking(True)
    settimeout(0) == setblocking(False)
    settimeout(5) --- no equivalent in setblocking
