Mark, Wow, good question, but my guess is the answer is going to disappoint you. I think the BLE protocol plus the various kinds of data passed between the phone and meter will make this approach very very difficult to extract only the measured values you want.

At this point, I would say the easiest method would be to use Android Studio. James developed the android app using AS. It is free and James provides the source code for each app version for free on GitHub. By the way, this is quite commendable; not every manufacturer will provide the source code for their product apps. It is complex software, but with just a little knowledge and research you can load his latest app source code into the latest Android Studio and it will compile into an app which will run correctly. From there with a lot more knowledge and studying his code, you can modify the source code to do what you want. Not easy by any means, but easier than decoding a serial stream, unless somebody has already done it for you.

Perhaps the Python app would be easier, but I believe I remember reading the latest app is not compatible with the latest meter firmware changes.

As always, just my humble opinion.

Mark,
Here is a related thread https://moosh.im/f/topic/python-api-and-april-update-issue-not-connecting/
I’m not sure if seergio has made any progress since then. – – – – Duane

Hi Mark123,

I haven’t totally parsed the data you provided, but I can tell you that you are better off modifying the python script to have it spit out the data you want than trying to interpret the raw serial stream from a different script. There are a few layers of interaction happening – between the BLED112 and the Python script, on the BLE layer, and on the application layer.

Specifically, if you look at notifyCB on line 48 of Example.py, this function is probably all you need to adjust to start sending data out to a new end point.

PS. Thanks again Duane

Hi Mark123,

I dug in to this more today and updated the Example.py script. During all the beta testing with the apps, I made some changes to the protocol that didn’t get ported back to the Python API. I fixed the issue and now the example script connects and talks to firmware version 1470628829 without problem.

Hope this helps, best

Hi James.

I had no issue with the original software. The issue I have is that i require separate scripts for initialise, get sample and close. I am not very experienced with python and just want to take measurements, I wasn’t expecting to re-write python scripts.

The stream part in the infinite loop checks BGWrapper.idle(). How does it call notifyCB() from here.

#This will be called every time a new sample is received

I cannot see in any of the files where this is called.

Mark.

Hi Mark,

A couple of issues:
Separating the scripts is quite difficult because the code needs to store a lot of session information to interact with the Mooshimeter. What is it you are trying to accomplish? You might be better served by modifying the script to respond to actions from the user through some other means.

Regarding notifyCB: notifyCB is a callback, which is called from an inner layer of the bluetooth stack when the update is received over bluetooth. BGWrapper.idle() constantly serves the bluetooth stack and will call notifyCB when something is received.

If your code is on Github I can probably be more specific. Hope this helps! Best

Hi James.

I managed to tweak the code a bit so it would spit out the relevant data which I captured on the pc. However when using the phone app the latest firmware update has been pushed to the meter I believe. I have tried using the latest example that you provided and that dosn’t work at all. It exits at didn’t find our friend.

Has this code been tested and is there any additional files required.

Is it possible to revert back to the previous firmware version where I had a system working????

Regards,

Mark.

Hi Mark,

Sorry this has become complicated…

It sounds like you were using an older version of the python API that’s not compatible with the latest firmware. I think the best option is to base your python code off the latest version of the Mooshimeter-PythonAPI. Sorry, but downgrading firmware is not presently supported.

If your code is visible online somewhere I can try to help you. Please let me know

Hi James.

The only code i am using at the moment is the Latest you put on github.

“the best option is to base your python code off the latest version of the Mooshimeter-PythonAPI”

Is this following link not the latest to use with build 1470628829
https://github.com/mooshim/Mooshimeter-PythonAPI

If not where can I get it?

Regards,

Mark.

Hi Mark,

I am asking because you referenced notifyCB, which is a variable name that I don’t think is present in the most recent version of the code. Are you sure your git repository is up to date?

The URL you reference is the correct one, but I’ve been making updates to the code there over the last few days largely based on your feedback.
