That seems fair enough, though I'd accept a band-aid solution if it means everything works, so properly analsying and fixing the issue can be done at leisure.I'd rather find and fix the problem than apply a band-aid.
So, with that in mind, back to the start ...
How do you know it has become disconnected from the wifi ?It works well, but eventually becomes disconnected from the wifi. I have noticed that if I query it every 5 minutes to see if it is alive, it never gets disconnected.
That it's not responding, not doing what is expected, doesn't necessarily mean it has disconnected from the wifi.
It could also be, if a disconnection has occurred, that this wasn't the cause of it not responding, but a consequence of some issue unrelated to wifi connection.
Yes, that is odd. This appears to be the on-board LED so 'pico_led.on()' should light it, 'pico_led.off()' should turn it off.Oddly, the LED on the pico is solid green, and I have it set to blink when it is connecting.
If that's so, it being permanently on suggests 'async def monitor_wifi()' is no longer running.
Maybe something has hung, stopped things working.
But how do you know there hasn't been some legitimate run-time issue which has been caught by your 'except' at the end of your code which wraps everything and has simply halted the program ?
Not responding may, in whatever the circumstances are, be expected behaviour.
Is the LED flashing five seconds on, two seconds off, when it's waiting for a data request ?
If it isn't then that is important to know.
You have plenty of 'print' statements in your code and you should be using them, monitoring output so you can actually tell what's going on, rather than leaving yourself and others to guess what's going on.
I would add as many 'print' as I could, even one for every line of code if that's needed to see what's going on.
It may require monitoring the output for long periods of time but, if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes.
I would start by looking to see if I can determine how long it takes before things stop working. Taking your code 'as is' I would simply add this after your 'c += 1' -
Code:
print("Alive!", time.time())Statistics: Posted by hippy — Thu Dec 26, 2024 5:22 pm
