64bit Bullseye: GUI not displaying with Bless/bleak version of FortiusANT

[Toetta]

Hi!

FortiusAnt is up and running and I use it with Zwift. All good :)

Im not getting the gui to display with the -g parameter though.

(The included wxpython video test works well during installation of it)

It likely that I did something wrong due to quite extensive install procedure and I'm all new to this and don't know anything about programming.

Im not receiving any error messages.

I installed the latest versions of everything and compiled a 64bit wxpython pypi and a new wheel along with all other stuff that I found during the way it complained about.

Could someone assist what to do next when I don't see any error messages?

//
I did not install using the all steps of the steps included in the raspberry directory and did not install "node" stuff. Just ran the Fortius straight off except granting accesses.
//

Cheers

Hi malkus.

The GUI is disabled for raspberry, because wxpython is not available in standard environment without compilation etc.

Enabling is not difficult; check UseGui:
https://github.com/WouterJD/FortiusANT/blob/master/pythoncode/constants.py#L25

[Toetta]

In my constants.py file its already set to true. Do I need rebuild FortiusANT.sh file in the raspberry folder that I use to start for it to use the info in the constants.py file in python folder? Im not sure how the files are linked / connected...

[WouterJD]

If wx cannot be imported, UseGui is set to False

UseGui              = True	    # Can be modified to force no-GUI
UseMultiProcessing  = True      # Production version can be either False or True
OnRaspberry         = True      # We're running on Raspberry Pi

try:
    from wx import EVT_CLOSE    # Just checking presence
except:
    UseGui          = False  	# no wx, no GUI

HI @WouterJD !

Tried your latest build on github. I now get the gui!

Having new issues though. Power output is about 4x normal to zwift. Connection is now stable. during restarts I get error messeges often when trying to autostart FortiusAnt that the bluetooth name is already in use and BLE can not be startes.

(I did run through the installation steps to double check that missing) Dont know if it was a good idea or not to install the nodejs stuff as well but I did..

[WouterJD]

Node.js does not conflict

during restarts

Why do you restart?
I can start / stop as many times as I like.

[Toetta]

If it autostarts during bootup it never works. I have manually close the app and start it again. Then ble ant and everything connects. I will provide better feedback / screendumps / logs Cheers lör 9 apr. 2022 kl. 15:29 skrev Wouter Dubbeldam ***@***.***>:

As if FortiusAnt starts too early...
Try to delay startup, to check whether first start works when not done too fast

[Toetta]

These settings wont store after saving / restarting. Always reset. Target powet value restes to 20. I reenter 100 after every restart.

[Toetta]

Heartrate values are recieved by Fortiusant through Ant+ but not transmitted over BLE.

Updates picture @WouterJD

[Toetta]

Heart rate with direct connection over bluetooth works well as a work around not passing theought FortiusAnd Bless

[Toetta]

Power values (W) are now back to normal. Nothing changed, several restarts only.

Magnetic braie seems to work really well.

The Vortex controll display powers down after some minutes. When eaking it up it wont reconnect to FortiusAnt. Stays in standalone mone not showing "pc" on display. Buttons then no longer work for the digital gear selection

See #373 to be investigated and solved.

Although it should be...

I can do sone tests to check this, using the simulator AND bleak test program

https://github.com/WouterJD/FortiusANT/blob/Implement-BLE-using-bless/pythoncode/usbTrainer.py#L1187
I see the code contains a mechanism to avoid this

Since I have no vortex I cannot test this

[Toetta]

Thanks for all your responses @WouterJD !

[WouterJD]

Please test with current version; JSON should be improved now as well.
If OK I suggest to close this issue, since I cannot solve in FortiusAnt

GUI works now! Many thanks
