Error during continuous use soapypower and Airspy #6

Open tavi343 opened 4 years ago

tavi343 commented 4 years ago

I've running a little script to get 15min continuous data from an Airspy R2 device, at HF-UHF frequencies. The system is Ubuntu 18.04 on a HP Stream netbook.

I don't know why I get this errors, time to time, after 2-5 days the entire script stopped:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/solar/anaconda3/bin/soapy_power", line 10, in sys.exit(main()) File "/home/solar/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/soapypower/main.py", line 373, in main max_threads=args.max_threads, max_queue_size=args.max_queue_size File "/home/solar/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/soapypower/power.py", line 296, in sweep psd_future, acq_time_start, acq_time_stop = self.psd(freq) File "/home/solar/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/soapypower/power.py", line 256, in psd self.device.read_stream_into_buffer(self._buffer) File "/home/solar/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/simplesoapy.py", line 484, in read_stream_into_buffer res.ret, SoapySDR.errToStr(res.ret) RuntimeError: Unhandled readStream() error: -1 (TIMEOUT)

Everything was downloaded and compiled locally on the machine. I've changed the USB cable, checked the connection with the server where the data is actually saved.

I'm experiencing the exact same error, however consistently and immediately upon startup with an rtl-sdr device. When I, instead, use a Funcube dongle pro plus device, everything works as expected. I'm running on a Raspberry Pi.
