'LoRa' object has no attribute 'Mesh'

  • T

    Hello, i made a new subject, but i think is following this subject: Pymesh updates

    I have try to use the pymesh network for see how to use it. I have upgrade a lopy4 with the 1.20.0.rc12:

    I have get the software in this page: https://software.pycom.io/downloads/LoPy4.html

    Maybe the LoRa object with Mesh attribute was on other folder?

    Can someone explain me my error? Thank's

    Hello! I'm trying to create a LoRa Mesh or PyMesh network. I'm using LoPy4 and FiPy with expansion board 3.1v. After a few problems, I was able to create a PyMesh network using Pybytes. I have a project on Pybytes with WiFi and LoRa added as networks.

    The devices have the same firmware version (1.20.2.rc11). They connet to Pybytes and they get a role (the rgbled change its color). However, I checked the monitoring tab and they don't find neighbours.

    pymesh problem.JPG

    Moreover, I set the FiPy as Border Router, but something happened because in the image above it isn't appear as I defined previously.

    I'm running tests right now, the FiPy is the leader of the network (MAGENTA) and the LoPy4 is a router (GREEN). Do I need another LoPy/FiPy to find neighbours between them?

    I read the tutorials in the Pycom website, but I'm getting a bit confused because what I found here (https://docs.pycom.io/pymesh/licence/) works, but couldn't find neighbours in the network, and what I also found on the website (https://docs.pycom.io/firmwareapi/pycom/network/lora/pymesh/) doesn't work. It throws an error:

    The code above had some core dump info but it was a bunch of letters without much sense and I decided not to put it here.

    So I would appreciate if someone can give me some hints about whats happening or what to do now.

    As I mentioned before, the pymesh firmware uses closed-source libraries that unfortunately we cannot publish. When you update to the Pymesh firmware through Pybytes, you accept the license agreement, which is why we cannot publish the source or binary for this firmware. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    To be honest, I don't know. Perhaps the special submodule can be found in versions 1.20.0.rc8 through rc10 as my colleague Catalin described 2 years ago, but I would not recommend using that firmware in a production environment.

    Hi, thanks for your quick answer. I understood that is possible to use Pybytes, but I would like to understand if the code in github can be still used with some older firmware version or not.

    Hi,
    As I mentioned in a post above, nowadays you need to get the pymesh firmware through Pybytes. There is a guide here: https://docs.pycom.io/pybytes/pymeshintegration/. The pycom-libraries version of pymesh frozen is a reference to the pymesh code, but the firmware includes some additional closed-source components. If you use the firmware, you do not need to load the pymesh-frozen library seperately.

    @catalin said in 'LoRa' object has no attribute 'Mesh':

    import pycom
    pycom.pybytes_on_boot(False)
    machine.reset()

    Dear Catalin, many thanks for your support. I still have issues with pmesh on my pycom Fipy.
    Here what I did:
    a. git clone https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries.git
    b. in Atom Add a new project from pycom-libraries/pymes/pymesh_frozen
    c. execute the code you suggest

    import machine
    import pycom
    pycom.pybytes_on_boot(False)
    machine.reset()

    d. Upload the project to the device

    result: I got the error:

    Wrong firmware version? Which is the right one?
    Here my current version:

    I did a quick search for what you mention, and could only find this, from about a year ago: https://forum.pycom.io/topic/6132/pycom-nvs_get-returns-an-exception. Indeed there was a time where it returned 'None' as per the docs, but it has been like this for (at least) a year, so it should also be implemented in the Pymesh :)

    You're correct when mentioning we should keep track of the API per firmware version.

    @Gijs Wasn't there a few months ago a breaking change in nvs_get which switched from returning None to generating a ValueError exception when the key does not already exists?

  • G

    Hi,
    I don't think that has to do with the Pymesh firmware, but rather a missing key in the NVS. You can use a try-except block to catch the error, or use any of the following:

    pycom.nvs_set('loraSaved', value)

    to set the key, or

    pycom.nvs_get('loraSaved', value)

    Which will return value if the key is not set.

    @catalin thanks for your response, I am having problems whit the Pymesh Firmware, exactly whit the following code:

    loraSaved = pycom.nvs_get('loraSaved')

    I have the follogin error:

    ValueError: No matching object for the provided key

    Can you help me, please?

    thanks in advance.

    @jclo13 As I've tried to explained here https://docs.pycom.io/pymesh/simple-example/ if Pybytes is stopped then you can use directly the Pymesh Library API (like: pymesh = Pymesh(pymesh_config, new_message_cb))

    Stopping Pybytes can be done using (and enabling it can be done by using parameter pycom.pybytes_on_boot(True)):

    import pycom
pycom.pybytes_on_boot(False)
machine.reset()

    If Pybtyes is stopped then Pymesh is not automatically started, but Pybytes Library scripts are included as frozen.

    1. You can re-upload Pymesh Library scripts (with custom modifications), and this ones will be executed, they are preferred instead of the frozen ones
    2. OR, You can use directly Pybytes low-level micropython API: https://docs.pycom.io/firmwareapi/pycom/network/lora/pymesh/

    Thanks and let me know if anything else is not clear.

    @catalin I'm a bit confused, the micropython API that is in the DOCs (https://docs.pycom.io/firmwareapi/pycom/network/lora/pymesh/) works with Pymesh from Pybytes? or how it should use the micropython API?.

    thanks in advance.

    @catalin Thank you very much for the prompt reply, I was trying to use the code found on Github (https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/tree/master/pymesh/pymesh_frozen) and I was getting that error, it will be possible to use this code ?.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @jclo13,

    Sorry to hear about your experience.

    I’ve just flashed a new Lopy4 with the latest v1.20.2.r4, registered to Pybytes, did all the steps from https://docs.pycom.io/pybytes/pymeshintegration/provisioning/; the device updated Pymesh firmware v.1. 20.2.rc11.

    Bellow is the log. After update, you can obtain the pymesh object using:
    pymesh = pybytes.__pymesh.__pymesh

    Hello @catalin I want to implement pymesh but I get the same error, what is the latest version in which pymesh is included? I have tried lowering the version to 1.20.2.rc10 but y get the same error, can you help me please?

    thanks in advanced.

    Hi @thibault and @angie92v,

    Pymesh (Mesh subclass of Lora) was excluded from build rc12. There are some licensing issues which we are trying to solve.
    Most likely, next week, I'll make a separate pymesh firmware binary release (just latest RC+pymesh module).
    As a temporary workaround, some older releases can be used, 1.20.0.rc8-9-10.
