Error on radio.connect

[stephanelsmith]

Might be late to the party here, but finally getting around to trying the library out with my B-Tech. Following instructions from here, async command line.

I'm crashing on connect. Not sure if the firmware is a moving target, or I'm doing something dumb?

import asyncio
import RadioController
radio = RadioController.new_ble("38:D2:00:01:09:FE")
await radio.connect()

Just me or something real?

Yup 100% firmware is a moving target -- been a while since I've updated. What firmware version are you on?

[stephanelsmith]

Just checking, I'm on 0.9.2. Love the idea of escaping from the proprietary software.

Curious if I can link this project up with my project. Today I can function as an igate, I think if I can control the radio and pipe audio in/out, I should be able to add digipeating functionality.

Ok, just updated for 0.9.2 -- would you mind giving the latest commit a whirl? There's probably other broken things... it's been a while since I looked at this.

Dude your project is awesome! I love the MicroPython / esp32 platform. Unfortunately benlink will not run there right now, because my bitfield parsing makes heavy use of type hint introspection, which micropython doesn't support.

However I've been toying with the idea of re-writing all my parsing in Kaitai Struct, which generates all the parsing code and therefore allow it to work in MicroPython (theoretically).

I won't be able to get to this for a while, but would you be interested in that sort of thing? (In the meantime, if you'd like to help, would you mind seeing how well Kaitai Struct runs in MicroPython? It might be useful for parsing AX25/APRS frames too)
