Hi,

Im testing an aproach to the comunication with the cc2540, with the keyfob exactly (Mini Dev Kit), using python. The scripts in those links are fantastic, I really want to thank the developper for publishing them. I succeeded with the first script, however, I cannot get the LinuxHostTest2 to work.

I have flashed the hosTestRealease on the dongle and the SimplePeripheral to the keyfob

I can discover and connect to the device but I cannot receive data, and if I try to activate all the notifications the program crashes and write on console:

"WHAT!?! SHOULDNT HAPPEN!!!!"

I believe I am using the wrong profile on the KeyFob, that was not intended to be used with this script.

I want to make my own python script but first I wanted to see it works well, so if you could help me it would be great.

Thank you in advance,

João Bastos

Hi,

I developed the first script and got in touch with the author of the second one. Unfortunately, I think the second one does not work nowadays but just because of the change in the handles TI applied some time ago. Check this link for related info:

And please feel free to upload an updated version of the second script if you succeed! :)

Yes, you were right. The problem is simply a wrong handle number for the Accelerometer Enable. Its easily fixed by changing the Handle value in the BTDevices.py, activateAccelerometer function, from \x21\x00 to \x33\x00.

I will upload this modified version to my files, in my TI account. I don't know where is the correct place to upload this, or if it would be enough just to add a note on the wiki page explaining this. What do you think is best?

Best Regards,

João Bastos

Wow! Is it really THAT easy?

I did not wanted to change the code of another person but I do not think it is wrong to do a single modification... argh.

See you in 10 minutes.

PS: Everybody, the change has already been applied. If there are new modifications to be made, do not hesitate posting here. Bye!
