Understanding process behind executing the code #2

Closed djcali closed 7 years ago

djcali commented 7 years ago

Hello, I currently have a Kiwi SDR that I am trying to use this Web Socket to connect to, but I am not very experienced in Python, and Web Sockets as a whole. Is there something I need to do before I execute the code on my computer, because when I ran it, it won't connect, and keeps generating the connection failed error message only to try again every 15 seconds. Thanks, David

Could you please explain what is it you are trying to do? What commands are you running?

I have been trying to run the kiwi recorder file that is provided in the git, and after reading the code I am currently using the command line to input the server host and server portal in addition to the frequency. Once I do this, the code appears to execute without any breaks, after I commented out the ._logger() call on line 32 of kiwi recorder, because it threw an attribute error, but the zip file doesn't appear to be compiling as the instructions say. Is there anything else I need to manually enter into the command line, or what is the issue?

There may be issues with the recorder application due to recent changes in the client itself; I didn't verify compatibility in any way. Let me check and get back to you.

With commit 554e102 this should be working again. Please note you will have to adjust squelch threshold to ensure the mode of operation you want (non-stop recording vs squelched).

Thank you for updating this. If you would like to explain what squelched recording is, as I'm trying to change the 1 hour interval to 15 minutes for recording, that would be helpful. But it works just fine regardless of the .wav file length. :+1:

It is a feature designed to record only when there is actual signal, avoiding huge files of noise.

If you'd prefer 15-minute intervals, then you will have to change the condition here: https://github.com/dev-zzo/kiwiclient/blob/master/kiwirecorder.py#L89
