Not getting Sensor Readings in Pysense with FiPy Module

[Archana Kadam]

@livius
import machine
from network import WLAN

configure the WLAN subsystem in station mode (the default is AP)

wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)

go for fixed IP settings (IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS)

wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.0.107', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '192.168.0.1'))
wlan.scan() # scan for available networks
wlan.connect(ssid='mynetwork', auth=(WLAN.WPA2, 'my_network_key'))
while not wlan.isconnected():
pass
print(wlan.ifconfig())
I tried with code also, but its continuously running but there no output.

@archana-kadam
I should start with this question, what is your firmware version?

import os
os.uname()

[Archana Kadam]

@livius
Is Pybytes a server. Can we send data and store in pybytes

[Archana Kadam]

@livius
We have latest version of firmware installed 1.17.b

[livius]

@archana-kadam
You can send data to whatever you like, but for pybytes you need account.
Did you successfully connected to the wifi network?

[Archana Kadam]

@livius
We are running the below code on the FiPy to send data to the server. and we are using FiPy in its default mode i,e Access Point Mode.

import socket
s = socket.socket()
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(socket.getaddrinfo('192.168.0.109', 80)[0][-1])
your_data = "Hello"
s.send("your_data")

Can you send us the one complete example code which sends data from fipy to server. Where a local computer in the same network can be used as server.

Thank You

@archana-kadam
with default mode AP you must connect your computer to Fipy.
In mode STA you connect your Fipy to computer (most often through router)
After you are connected to the network (local) you can communicate between computer and Fipy.

from network import WLAN
import socket

wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
# wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.0.105', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '192.168.0.1')) - you can ommit this line if you need to connect by DHCP
wlan.connect(ssid='mynetwork', auth=(WLAN.WPA2, 'my_network_key'), timeout=30000)

while not wlan.isconnected():
	machine.idle()	
	
if wlan.isconnected():
	s = socket.socket()
	s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
	s.connect(socket.getaddrinfo('192.168.0.109', 2345)[0][-1]) #IP of your computer(192.168.0.109) in the same network as your Fipy and port(2345) of socket in listen mode on your computer
	your_data = "Hello"
	s.send("your_data")

remember that you must have something listen on incoming traffic on your computer then.

@livius
We have successfully connected to the server by the given code, but we are getting an error in line number 14, im sending the screenshot please go through the file

[livius]

@archana-kadam
remove line 13 s = socket.socket()

P.S> i have blurred your password on the screenshot

[Archana Kadam]

@livius
I removed line 13 "s = socket.socket()" but also im getting an error in line number 15
i,e #your_data = "hello"

[jcaron]

@archana-kadam and the error is...?

[Archana Kadam]

@jcaron
OSError -1

[Archana Kadam]

@jcaron
I will attach the screenshot and i have highlighted the error line.

[jcaron]

@archana-kadam are you sure you correctly re-uploaded the modified file?

[Archana Kadam]

@jcaron
Yes i re-uploaded the modified file.
Earlier it was #your_data = "Hello"

[livius]

@archana-kadam
Quite impossible on line 15 where you store text (connect to your device by ftp and look like your file really is)

but do you have host 192.168.0.109 and especially do you have something which listen on that host on port 2345?

[Archana Kadam]

@livius
Here is code which im using to connect to the server.

from network import WLAN
import machine
import socket

wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
# wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.0.105', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '192.168.0.1')) - you can ommit this line if you need to connect by DHCP
wlan.connect(ssid='ssid...', auth=(WLAN.WPA2, 'passs...'), timeout=30000)

while not wlan.isconnected():
	machine.idle()

if wlan.isconnected():
	s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
	s.connect(socket.getaddrinfo('192.168.0.109', 80)[0][-1]) #IP of your computer(192.168.0.109) in the same network as your Fipy and port(80) of socket in listen mode on your computer
	#your_data = "Hello"
	s.send("your_data")

Yes i have the same IP address and the port is 80. By using the same code im getting an error is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 15, in <module>
OSError: -1

@archana-kadam said in Not getting Sensor Readings in Pysense with FiPy Module:

strange because line 15 is just comment line

add this lines before socket connect

print(str(socket.getaddrinfo('192.168.0.109', 80)))
print(str(socket.getaddrinfo('192.168.0.109', 80)[0][-1]))

and put result here

Here is and code and we are getting the same errors i,e

check if you do not mix indentation as tab and space

PS. use forum formating http://commonmark.org/help/ e.g. triple ``` around the code
