Occasionally Host PC cannot attach to the Phidget VINT Hub

[tszajner]

Hi,

I've noticed that on rare occasions (~1% of the time), the Phidget22 library cannot attach to my Phidget VINT Hub. Attached is the Python Script I run.

Code: Select all

import time
from Phidget22.Devices.DigitalOutput import DigitalOutput
from Phidget22.PhidgetException import PhidgetException
from Phidget22.Devices.Log import Log 
from Phidget22.LogLevel import *

def ErrorEvent(e, eCode, description):
    print("Error %i : %s" % (eCode, description))

def main(port1, port2):

    ch1 = DigitalOutput()
    ch2 = DigitalOutput()

    ch1.setOnErrorHandler(ErrorEvent)
    ch2.setOnErrorHandler(ErrorEvent)

    ch1.setHubPort(port1)
    ch2.setHubPort(port2)

    ch1.setIsHubPortDevice(1)
    ch2.setIsHubPortDevice(1)

    try:
        # Wait at most 10 seconds to attach the port, returns as soon as the port is found
        ch1.openWaitForAttachment(10000)
        ch2.openWaitForAttachment(10000)
    except PhidgetException as err:
        print("Caught exception {0} while attaching to Phidget, retrying once".format(err))
        time.sleep(5)
        # If openWaitForAttachment() fails, that means we encountered a bug with
        # the Phidget USB driver
        ch1.openWaitForAttachment(10000)
        ch2.openWaitForAttachment(10000)

    ch1.setState(1)
    print("Success")
    return

if __name__=="__main__":
    timestamp = time.time()
    logfile = "test_" + str(timestamp)
    print(timestamp)
    Log.enable(LogLevel.PHIDGET_LOG_VERBOSE, logfile)
    main(3,4)

IMPORTANT you need to run the script in a loop from bash i.e. so that the library reloads (?) each time

Code: Select all

for i in {1..250}; do python3 phidgets_never_attaches.py ; done

When it fails, it outputs the following error to stdout/stderr

Code: Select all

Attached are the debug logs when it works versus when it does not work. The main difference is that when it doesn't work, it uses the Interrupt OUT Endpoint, instead of the Control Endpoint

I've reproduced the error. Looking into it.

This bug is fixed, and library released.

Thanks Patrick. I tested the new library and the issue has been fixed
