capture cli mesages

dgeppert opened this issue · 5 comments

Hello,

not an issue, but a question (hope that's ok here):

is there a way to capture the cli result into e.g. an array to process the result later within the cli?

RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> a = q.radioA.get_register(0x71)                                                                                               

address = 113
value = 4
0x71 = 0b00000100 (0x04, 4)

result = 0
message = 

RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> a                                                                                                                         

RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> print(a)                                                                                                                  
None

redirecting stdout does not seem to help here, maybe because Protobuf is used?

thx in advance

@dgeppert results are automatically collected into the q.data variable, which is of type list().

RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> q.radioA.get_register(0x71)                                                                                               


address = 113
value = 4
0x71 = 0b00000100 (0x04, 4)


result = 0
message = 

RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> q.data                                                                                                                    
Out[2]: []

RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> print(q.data)                                                                                                             
[]

Oh, my bad. You want to collect the register values. I don't think we've ever thought about storing those.

Check here https://github.com/rfquack/RFQuack-cli/blob/master/rfquack/core.py#L237

You'll see that we're storing only packets (e.g., transmissions) into self.data. Maybe you can create a self.register = list() and collect Register objects at https://github.com/rfquack/RFQuack-cli/blob/master/rfquack/core.py#L231

If you can do that and send a PR, I'll merge it ;-)

Hello @dgeppert ,
q.data stores packets received from the transceiver while in RX mode.

thanks @phretor! for pointing to the right spots ;-)

just two lines of code in rfquack/core.py

class RFQuack(object):
        ...
        self.data = list()
        self.register = list() # <---

        ...

        if isinstance(msg, rfquack_pb2.Register):
            fmt = '0x{addr:02X} = 0b{value:08b} (0x{value:02X}, {value})\n'
            out += fmt.format(
                **dict(addr=msg.address, value=msg.value))
            self.register.append(msg)) # <---
RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> q.radioA.get_register(0x71)                                                                                               

address = 113
value = 4
0x71 = 0b00000100 (0x04, 4)

result = 0
message = 

RFQuack(/dev/ttyUSB0)> q.register
