Not working with python2 (Was: MACOS Sierra)

[ygageot]

I just installed the software on MACOS Sierra version 10.12.3.
I had a first test with ./fdxread dumps/gnd10-and-displays.dump

I have a lot of messages like WARNING:root:Ignoring exception: missing tailer.

I tried also the testall program and it is the same.
A CR/LF trouble ?

Thanks for your help

For your information: I just install the version on my RPi2 (Raspbian 7 wheezy) and I have the same warning.

Hi.

Nice to hear from you. Where did you install this version from? If it was pypitest, that shouldn't be used at the moment.

I reran using the version in git now (0ab2027) and that works as expected for me:

./fdxread --seek 3000 dumps/onsdagsregatta-2016-08-17.dump | head
$FVMWV,216.78,R,1.94,K,A*2E
$SDDBT,,f,5.21,m,,F*10
$SDVHW,0.0,T,0.0,M,0.00,N,0.0,K*72
$FVMWV,213.50,R,0.62,K,A*29
$ZZXDR,P,101.42000,B,Barometer*21
$ZZXDR,C,21.11,C,TempDir*10
$SDDBT,,f,5.21,m,,F*10
$SDVHW,0.0,T,0.0,M,0.00,N,0.0,K*72
$FVMWV,213.50,R,0.62,K,A*29
$SDDBT,,f,5.21,m,,F*10

The gnd10-and-displays.dump file isn't the best file to test with, recommend you use onsdagsregatta-2016-08-17.dump instead.

I made : git clone https://github.com/lkarsten/GND10read.git to obtain the version

If i do : ./fdxread --seek 3000 dumps/onsdagsregatta-2016-08-17.dump | head like you

I have only manies : WARNING:root:Ignoring exception: missing tailer

Ah, sorry! Now I understand - it is that you're using Python 2.

Travis is detecting the same on https://travis-ci.org/lkarsten/fdxread , but I haven't gotten around to look at it yet. Something about matching inside a bytes() being different.

Can you install python 3 and try again? I'm using 3.6, but 3.5 should work fine as well.

[ygageot]

Sorry, i am not familiar with python;

On MACOS I

• installed python 3.6.0
• reinstalled fdxread with virtualenv --python=python3.6 --system-site-packages venv

and it works

Thanks

NB : I have to do the same on my RPi ...

[ygageot]

It is done on my RPi and it works. Thanks.

NB:
I plan these week to connect my Mac and/or my RPI to Nexus WSI box with an USB/RS485 cable.
I hope to obtain a connection and log the traffic.
I will try your software with serial entry.
And I will try also a small nodejs program I wrote to dump the traffic with your dump format
I will give you news !!!

Hi.

Good to hear you got it working!

I'll make an effort to clean up the problems you ran into in the coming days.

I'd love some data dumps from your WSI box. The libfdx/dumpserial.py program can be used for that. Please, if possible, also record (write down, or take a picture of) what your displays/instruments are showing when you dump it, otherwise we just have data and not information. :)

I will move tomorrow and I will have access to my static boat.
I plan to take pictures of wind+depth+watertemp+battery+pression+rsi
the boat speed/VMG will be zero !
A first step !!

Re installation issue: Running on Python 2 should work fine again now with 3618b17 (incl. dumpreader.py refactor in 7cc518f) commited and pushed today.
