device address problems examples

[werkgroep-kunstmanen]

Hello, Trying tacx_trainer_control_example.py and using discover_devices_example.py to get the device address gives a problem: The device address in tacx_trainer_control_example.py is EAAA3D1F-6760-4D77-961E-8DDAC1CC9AE which I assume is just an example.

With discover_devices_example.py I get: C2:9D:1D:49:A9:C7: Tacx Neo 2 01760

which is in a complete different form, and is also not recognized by the 'tacx trainer' example:

bleak.exc.BleakError: Device with address C2:9D:1D:49:A9:C7 was not found.

What is going wrong here?

Regards, Rob

Hi Rob,

The device address is correct, the format is slightly different just due to the way Bluetooth implementations differ between Mac/Windows/Linux.

Please can you try increasing the timeout used when connecting to the turbo trainer?

In tacx_trainer_control_example.py change

async with BleakClient(address) as client:

to

async with BleakClient(address, timeout=30.0) as client:

The timeout is how many seconds to attempt to connect to the device for, you can try with a few different values to see if you have any success.

Also please ensure no other device/software is attempting to connect to the trainer, as I think the turbo can only handle one connection at a time.

Let me know how it goes, Zachary

I can at least throw my 2 cents in here and confirm that on Windows 10, using a device address of the format EB:14:11:DB:2A:86 lets me successfully connect to my Tacx Neo 2T.

I have successfully connected to Wahoo Kickr V5 using address format as above

That's great, which protocols did you manage to get working with the Kickr @unicornis-pl?

I've connected using trainer = CyclingPowerService(client) From Wahoo Kickr I get: CyclingPowerMeasurement(instantaneous_power=106, accumulated_energy=None, pedal_power_balance=None, accumulated_torque=46740, cumulative_wheel_revs=16341, last_wheel_event_time=7986, cumulative_crank_revs=5526, last_crank_event_time=44923, maximum_force_magnitude=None, minimum_force_magnitude=None, maximum_torque_magnitude=None, minimum_torque_magnitude=None, top_dead_spot_angle=None, bottom_dead_spot_angle=None)

Similar success connecting to Favero Assioma Duo. Both pedals discovered during scanning, conneting to the left provides all the data: CyclingPowerMeasurement(instantaneous_power=122, accumulated_energy=None, pedal_power_balance=200, accumulated_torque=None, cumulative_wheel_revs=None, last_wheel_event_time=None, cumulative_crank_revs=15, last_crank_event_time=14928, maximum_force_magnitude=None, minimum_force_magnitude=None, maximum_torque_magnitude=None, minimum_torque_magnitude=None, top_dead_spot_angle=None, bottom_dead_spot_angle=None)

Pedal_power_balance = 200 -> 100% Left Pedal_power_balance = 0 -> 100% Right Pedal_power_balance = 100 -> 50/50 Left/Right balance

Same result for InPeak crank power sernsor ;-) CyclingPowerMeasurement(instantaneous_power=7, accumulated_energy=None, pedal_power_balance=None, accumulated_torque=None, cumulative_wheel_revs=None, last_wheel_event_time=None, cumulative_crank_revs=2, last_crank_event_time=7168, maximum_force_magnitude=None, minimum_force_magnitude=None, maximum_torque_magnitude=None, minimum_torque_magnitude=None, top_dead_spot_angle=None, bottom_dead_spot_angle=None)

Anything else worth testing?

No that's great thanks, the reason I ask is because there is an open issue (#13) asking if it already works with the Kickr, and it seems that it does!
