KeyError: 'fixedTime'

[SA7BNT]

Hallo, after 2 weeks nonstop running im getting this error in the morning. I have updated the keppler but still having this issue.

sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$ python autowx2.py 2018-10-02 08:03 Reading the default dongle shift 2018-10-02 08:03 Recently used dongle shift is: 11.109 ppm Traceback (most recent call last): File "autowx2.py", line 283, in passTable = genPassTable() File "autowx2.py", line 125, in genPassTable cron = satellitesData[satellite]['fixedTime'] KeyError: 'fixedTime' sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$

Whats the problem ??

Hi, thanks for the report. Was anything changed in the config file (autowx2_conf.py)? Is the tle file valid (check the size with ls -la var/tle/all.txt)? Did you update the system recently?

Hi, Nothing was changed in the (autowx2_conf.py) No system update at the last week. And thats the output from (ls -la var/tle/all.txt)

sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$ ls -la var/tle/all.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 sa7bnt sa7bnt 80476 Okt 2 08:02 var/tle/all.txt

sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$ python autowx2.py 2018-10-02 13:46 Reading the default dongle shift 2018-10-02 13:46 Recently used dongle shift is: 11.109 ppm Traceback (most recent call last): File "autowx2.py", line 283, in passTable = genPassTable() File "autowx2.py", line 125, in genPassTable cron = satellitesData[satellite]['fixedTime'] KeyError: 'fixedTime' sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$

How can i get it at work again??

[filipsPL]

OK, thanks. It seems that the system for some reason can't see the TLE entry for the satellite you are trying to track. Could you share your autowx2_conf.py file here (copy-paste or better: as an attachment)

autowx2_conf.py.zip

Hope that will help

[filipsPL]

Thanks! However I can't reproduce the problem... Could you please:

• try running genpasstable.py - it should generate the same error
• try fetch TLE data once more. Does the problem remain?
• try to use the attached tle data all.txt - put in into var/tle/. Does the problem remain?

genpasstable.py getting the same issue

sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$ sudo python genpasstable.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "genpasstable.py", line 194, in passTable = genPassTable(howmany=50) File "/home/sa7bnt/autowx2/autowx2.py", line 125, in genPassTable cron = satellitesData[satellite]['fixedTime'] KeyError: 'fixedTime' sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$ python genpasstable.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "genpasstable.py", line 194, in passTable = genPassTable(howmany=50) File "/home/sa7bnt/autowx2/autowx2.py", line 125, in genPassTable cron = satellitesData[satellite]['fixedTime'] KeyError: 'fixedTime' sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$

After running update-keps.sh still the same issue

And after replace the all.txt from git and chmod it to 755 and run python autowx2.py still same issue.

So if i get it right the problem is that he can´t read the all.txt (TLE)

sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$ ls -la var/tle/all.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 sa7bnt sa7bnt 72580 Okt 2 15:24 var/tle/all.txt sa7bnt@owncloud:~/autowx2$

Edit: clean data from /var/tle/all.txt and cp data from https://github.com/filipsPL/autowx2/blob/master/var/tle/all.txt in to it autowx2 is running again.

seems to be a problem with the update-keps.sh

I got the issue. The NOAA tle data has changed.

You have NOAA-19 in the all.txt and in the download tle the NOAA tle is like NOAA 19 http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/weather.txt

[filipsPL]

Indeed! :+1: They've changed the NOAA notation in the weather.txt:

$ cat all.txt | grep NOAA
NOAA 15                 
NOAA 18                 
NOAA 19                 
NOAA 20

now one has to adjust the autowx2_conf.py to the new nomenclature, i.e.:

    'NOAA 18': {
        'freq': '137912500',
        'processWith': 'modules/noaa/noaa.sh',
        'priority': 2},
    'NOAA 15': {
        'freq': '137620000',
        'processWith': 'modules/noaa/noaa.sh',
        'priority': 2},
    'NOAA 19': {
        'freq': '137100000',
        'processWith': 'modules/noaa/noaa.sh',
        'priority': 2},

I will update the code soon.

This is fixed in commit 27458ac. Readme updated.
