Problems with CLI with Heltec v3 board #670

Open BenParker2022 opened 2 months ago

BenParker2022 commented 2 months ago

when trying a command like meshtastic --info or meshtastic --ack the device shuts down. here are my stats that i got from the CLI. the only thing that works is -noproto. I have the proper drives and updated meshtastic, python, pip, and pytap.

System: Windows Platform: Windows-10-10.0.22631-SP0 Release: 10 Machine: AMD64 Encoding (stdin): utf-8 Encoding (stdout): utf-8 meshtastic: v2.4.1 Executable: C:\Users******\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts\meshtastic Python: 3.11.7 CPython MSC v.1937 64 bit (AMD64)

Please add the output from the command: meshtastic --info

It crashes right after this. I don't think it is a power issue because when i connect a battery it still does it, thought i do not know if it only charges the battery when plugged in via serial. please help this is super annoying as I am trying to get this setup for remote node use. not sure if it is a programing bug in python or a issue on windows side. I am going to get a better USB C cable to see if that changes it. tried to connect on two separate computers with the same results

Same for me. I know I have other issues, at least a serial permission Windows problem since I can't get CLI to really work at all. I don't see other modules rebooting like this Heltec one though.

When you say the device crashes, does it reboot? What version of firmware does your heltec v3 have? If you have the original firmware that came with the device, I would erase and reflash with a more current Beta. I'm no authority on this, but I really don't think there's anything in the Python client that is magic that could crash the device, so I'd really suspect a hardware issue here.

It does not have reboot on the screen. Light flashes and turns to black for a couple seconds. Then comes back on with the meshtastic logo. The most recent stable version 2.4.2.5.

I have two board and they both do the same thing. Heltec v3

I was able to run it fine on a computer running windows 10. I think it might be a problem with windows thinking the node is a HID mouse or something. Definitely not the actual python script or the API. Still trying to figure this out.
