Get Device State (Blue/Red/Yellow lights) #6

Closed gravesjohnr closed 8 years ago

gravesjohnr commented 8 years ago

Normally, when I start the sniffer.py and connect, the device goes through a cycle of blue flashing (I assume 'ready') and yellow flashing (I assume scanning) and red is off. Once connected, I get red and yellow flashing (connected). When the other device connects, I get all three lights flashing, blue yellow red.

But, sometimes, the python script things it has connected, but I continue to get a blue/yellow flashing and it never really connects. The only way I can fix this is to restart the code. I'd like to re-run the setup in this case, but I can't tell when it gets into this state. I even get packets in the dumpPackets code.

Is there a way to get a status from the device regarding these LEDs? I would then be able to programmatically reset things.

Thanks.

no idea - the firmware is not open source, it comes direct to us from nordic - we just burn it in since its the same chipset! https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-Smart-Bluetooth-low-energy/nRF-Sniffer for more details. you'll probably just have to re-run it till it works!
