New install - Line '1193' has error for missing directory

Hey Karl,

Sorry to bug you again, but I went to a brand new install and, as soon as I installed the latest version of piBeacon, I get these errors in the logs:

These which don't particularly scare me at the moment:

Code: Select all

 logger  enabled for   ERROR

Code: Select all

logger  enabled for   CRITICAL

and these, which do:

Code: Select all

in Line '1193' has error='[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.2/Preferences/Plugins/com.karlwachs.piBeacon/dataStats''

Code: Select all

 piBeacon Error                  in Line '15451' has error='local variable 'TCPserverHandle' referenced before assignment'

I have a pi running piBeacon from your image, but have yet to even try to add it to Indigo, figuring it'd be best to clear this up before muddying the waters. How should I proceed? I'm gathering that this is a data file you've created to track stats, but since nothing's configured there are no stats to collect. Should I just create a dummy/empty stats file? If so, what should be the contents? Or, do you have another suggestion/trick up your sleeve for this one?

thanx,
~ken

Ken,

the first 2 should show which logging goes into the indigo log file: only error and critical, all logging goes into the plugin.log file. it should be INFO not interpreted as error.

the second:
it looks as if the plugin prefs directory was not created, OR it is a fresh install. THENiIt should not be an error message, I have to down grade the error level.

could you post the directory of
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.2/Preferences/Plugins/
and
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.2/Preferences/Plugins/com.karlwachs.piBeacon/

The last one is a real error:

please try to restart the plugin
1. the >> in Line '1193' has error='[Er ..<<< should go away

2. if the >>in Line '15451' has error='local v.. << error persists, try to switch to web transfer (not socket comm) in config. then you also might want to do menu/ edit web server to suppress heavy logging by indigo of all incoming RPI messages. .. but only after everything works.

Karl

the new version will show:

I even disabled piBeacon, restarted Indigo server, and then re-enabled piBeacon, but the error is still present. I do plan on updating the web server after we get this worked out, so am not worried about any errors that you thin are spurious in regards to that.

Thanx again!
~ken

This error message is not an error message -- the file dataStats has not yet been created(*) . That is ok.
That happens when no messages through tcpip socket comm have been received.
So if you did not had any RPI running before (through socket comm) that files will not exist and restarting the plugin does not create one.

Once ONE MESSAGE has been received, it should be created.

ON >>in Line '15451' has error='local v.. << error ... is that gone?


Karl

(*)in the next release it will be corrected..

Looks like it. I'll work on getting at least one Pi connected and see if the errors all go away from there. . thanx again sir!

oops.. spoke...er.. uhm typed too soon.. Error is still there, though i haven't updated the web server yet..

Not sure if we should split this out to a different post, or not, but I just added a new pi.. a pi 3+, and see this in the permanent log as well:

Code: Select all

   master  rebooting / shutdown sudo killall -9 python; sudo reboot   rebooting due to repeated request:bluetooth_startup.ERROR:[Errno 5] Input/output error

this is my first 3+ system, so not sure if there's something special that needs to be done for BLE.

But from the pi, i don't see that port listening:

Code: Select all

roomPi:/home/pi/pibeacon# netstat -an | grep LIST | grep 12087
root@lroomPi:/home/pi/pibeacon# netstat -an | grep CONN | grep 12087
root@lroomPi:~# netstat -an | grep 12087
root@lroomPi:~#

Then i grepped netstat for the indigo server host ip"

Code: Select all

oomPi:~# netstat -an | grep 10.0.1.78
tcp        0     36 10.0.1.126:22           10.0.1.78:49813         ESTABLISHED

all i see there is the ssh session, so it doesn't appear to be connecting, or at least holding a steady connection.

Oops.. forgot to mention, my primary interface on the pi is wlan0. Not sure if that comes into play here, but figured I'd let you know now, just in case. I have eth0 up as well, but rely on wlan0 for the connection to the Indigo Server.

The rpi3+ does not work w the ssd from nov 2018. You need a second ble dongle with that ssd


In rpi device edit set ble to usb-dongle after you add the dongle.

I have no clue why with the new and latest opsys upgrade rpi3+ has problems w ble.

You can buy the ble dongles for $7 at Amazon. eg "DAYKIT Mini USB Bluetooth CSR 4.0 Dual" you don't need BLE5

hmmm.. well that's interesting about the 3+, but I have some rpi 3's I can use. I think I read before that there were issues using wlan0 as the primary interface. Is that still the case, or would I be ok to continue with that ? If so, i'll burn an rpi 3, delete that pi from piBeacon, and try again.

The rpi3+ has a new ble chip
The rpi3 is fine , but has problems wifi & BLE connected at the same time.

The rpi2+ is fine too
The rpi2 needs an external ble

So it’s complicated.

And yes if WiFi and ble is on the same chip the interfere with each other ... same frequency same queues and if ble keeps it busy WiFi can’t send.

The hope was that with the rpi3+ every works fine. That was true with the summer release of the opsys.

So if you download the previous ssd all should work for the all RPI

That last sentence confused me a bit.. I think what you meant was, if i wanted to use wlan0 as my primary interface, then my best bet is to use the pi 3+ along with a BLE dongle, since the onboard ble is on the same chip as the onboard wifi, correct?

rpi3+ works fine w previous SSDhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/egvf89113x8ma25/pibeacon-2018-04-12.img.zip?dl=1

rpi3 needs 2 devices (eg external wifi or BLE dongle) for BLEconnect and wifi, not for ibeacon and wifi

Ah. i think I got it now.. Will try the older ssd image with the 3+ and have ordered a couple of the dongles for my pi 3's.
