Receiving malformed JSON on device reset

[orangecms]

• I'm submitting a ...

  • [x] bug report
  • [ ] feature request

• What is the current status?

When I click on the reset button in the app, it does say "device reset" and "device connected" in a snackbar at the bottom. In the terminal emulator from which I am running the app, I can see some errors.

• If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce it

  A screenshot of the issue may be sufficient for UI bugs

• What is the expected behavior?

no error :)

• Please tell us about your environment:
  • OS with version number: [ Windows / OSX / Linux Distro ]

Arch Linux

• Other information ( Any research that you may have done which you think is the cause of problem )

I am using the PSlab Python library v1.0.1.

• Would you like to work on it?

The malformed string is 'Radio transceiver not installed/not found'.

The PSL library prints it when the device is connected and the NRF24L01 module is initialized. With this recent refactoring, it now uses logging and that should solve the issue because INFO level logs do not go to stdout (by default). I tested this change, and the bug was gone.

The next pslab python update should fix this bug.

This malformed JSON is no longer received.

Awesome, thanks for checking! So I'm closing this :)
