Wipy 2.0 and save data on my pc, not in flash memory
-
Hi, i'm new on programming with python.
I use wipy 2.0 and ESP 2.0. I use BNO055 to aquire data about pitch and roll.
I use command:file_dati = open("dati.txt", "w") file_dati.write(repr(List[0:len(List)])) file_dati.close()But in this way the data are saved on flash memory of device.
I need to save data or transfer them on my pc. Can you help me?
it's very important for my thesis.
thank you -
@vflorio94 You have a few options:
a) Once the data is save on your WIPY, you can transfer the to you PC by accessing the WIPY file system with ftp. That transfer is initiated by the PC
b) You can open a telnet session to the WiPy, print the data to the telnet screen an log the screen on the PC to a file.
c) If you have a ftp server on your PC, you can install an ftp client on your WiPy and transfer the files from WIPY to the PC. That transfer is initiated by the WIPY.
d) You can use a protocol like mqtt to transfer data to the PC at the time when the data is acquired.

Thank you for your suggest, but I haven't ftp on my pc.
Can you give me more information or a simple example about how to do ponit 'a' and also 'd'?I don't know anything about mqtt that you mentioned in pont 'd' and if I want to use point 'a' I have no idea on how to use ftp of my wipy and initiate the process by PC.
thanks in advance
-
@vflorio94 For FTP, please follow the documentation: https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/gettingstarted/programming/FTP.html
I never user MQTT mself, but other people mentioned having it used. So maybe someone stpes in and explains.
There is also a mesh protocol in preparation by pycom, which, as far as I can tell, could be used for your purpose. That is already part of the development variants of the firmware. -
@robert-hh for the moment I am able to use ftp with filezilla and it works.
thank you very much, your help was very important. -
@robert-hh sorry, can I ask you about another problem?
I extract data from I2C and i do lot of calculation in real time.
I need data in real time and I compare them in real time to some reference value to give feedback to the subject. But my code has a problem.MemoryError: memory allocation failed, allocating 1954 bytes``` How I can solve it? Thank you -
@vflorio94 WiPy2 is short of RAM.
If that happens immediately during import, then you may have to put some of your code into frozen bytecode. For that, you have to build you own firmware images. Once set up, that is not complicated. But the way of setting up looks difficult, even if it's not. Just follow the documentation step by step.If the message comes up when the code runs, adding
gc.collect()at certain places in your code may help to reduce heap fragmentation.Some information can also be found here: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/reference/speed_python.html, sections "Buffers", "Arrays" and "Controlling garbage collection"
-
@robert-hh thank you, I use the command gc.collect() as you suggets but the first time that I run my code it works, but then, when I want to run for the second time the same code, it print me the same error in memory allocation.
In my code I define a function and I call it in another part of my code.
I call the function that calculate the position every 1 second during a time interval of 20 second.so, what do you think that it's better to do ?
thank you a lot -
@vflorio94 So it looks like a heap fragmentation problem, and it's hard to tellm what to do without knowing the code. The basic rule with heap fragmentation is to avoid allocation of large objects over and over, and instead to allocate buffers only once and re-use them. If slices are needed, use memoryview to create a slice.
-
@robert-hh
in the code, first I collect the data about position in a time interval of 1 second and I immediately use this data to set an output.
But in the next second I need to recalculate the data position and the data that i use before now aren't important and I don't need them.
I go on like this for 20 second or more. -
@vflorio94 The error message shown below:
MemoryError: memory allocation failed, allocating 1954 bytestells, that your code wants to allocat a chunk of memory. What line is causing that? Doese teh code create a buffer, or doesn it try to write to a file?
Just the explanation of the code does not help, we need the source to help you, since it's about the little details. -
@robert-hh the line isn't indicate.
I show you the code if you can help me i'll be greatfulimport machine import pycom from machine import Timer import time import lib_imu from machine import I2C from math import sqrt from machine import PWM import gc def media(sequenza): # calculate mean return sum(sequenza[1:len(sequenza)]) / (len(sequenza)-1) def varianza(sequenza): # calculate variance mean = media(sequenza) return sum([(x-mean)**2 for x in sequenza])/len(sequenza) def dev_std(sequenza): # Calculate standard deviation return sqrt(varianza(sequenza)) def calcolo_position(secondi): # function to calculate the position each second, the number of second is assigned gc.collect() # Configure I2C to extract euler angle lib_imu.set_configmode() time.sleep(0.03) # set unit lib_imu.set_units() time.sleep(0.03) # set mode lib_imu.set_mode('ndof') # create 3 lists lista_heading = [] lista_roll = [] lista_pitch = [] t = Timer.Chrono() t.start() time.sleep(0.1) while 1: t_now = t.read() if t_now <= secondi: eul = lib_imu.get_euler() lista_heading.extend([eul[0]]) lista_roll.extend([eul[1]]) lista_pitch.extend([eul[2]]) time.sleep(0.5) if ( ((secondi -

@vflorio94 Which line is causing the error?
-
@robert-hh I think that the error can be caused by the function "Calcolo_position', because I call it more and more time when the code run
thank you -
@vflorio94 When the error pops ups, there is usually a line number shown. Which line number is it?
-
@robert-hh there isn't any line number.
only this message╝MemoryError: memory allocation failed, allocating 2029 bytes ╝> MicroPython v1.8.6-849-56d00234 on 2018-05-18; WiPy with ESP32 Type "help()" for more information.``` -
@vflorio94 A few questions:
So you call calcolo_position() and it never returns, but gives that error?
The intention of calcolo_position(sec) is to collect data for the time sec, about 2 values per second, and return the average values?
Is the exact time the acquisition runs important?
Edit:
what is returned by lib_imu.get_euler()? -
@robert-hh
The intention of calcolo_position(sec) is which you have write. The function collect 2 values each second, calculate mean and re-use this value in the next function "acquisizione_interval_pitch", to generate the output.
I need to mantain this time of acquisition because i work on subject and I want to extract data about their trunk posture in real time. I want to give them some feedback in real time.lib_imu is a simple library create to extract by I2c BNO055.
lib_imu.get_euler return the Euler Angle of pitch, roll and yaw. -
@vflorio94 said in Wipy 2.0 and save data on my pc, not in flash memory:
lib_imu.get_euler return the Euler Angle of pitch, roll and yaw.
I am asking about the data type: Does it return a tuple with three float values?
-
@robert-hh Sorry, I didn't understand your question before.
it returns TUPLE
thank you for your help and your patience
