I have written a simple python script to get eye tracking data & it works OK, but only for a small period of time (around 120 frame data replies from server): Now, I thought this had to do with the heartbeat (initially I did not send any heartbeat requests), so I added heartbeat request every few frames but I still get only the same amount of replies of the server (120 frame data replies), after which it does not send any info back to my python script.
As you can see from the script output below, I never get any heartbeat replies back, whatsoever (instead of HEARTBEAT -{"category": "heartbeat" "statuscode": 200} reply I only get a regular frame reply???), which is why my communication between server & the python client stops. Am I missing something here (e.g. using the protocol in a wrong way)?
Thanks in advance!
code snippet (get_frames() is called only once to start receiving tracker data ...):
- Code:
def get_frames(self):
print "\n======================== GET FRAMES =========================\n"
#== Get frames ...
request = '{"category": "tracker","request" : "get","values":["frame"]}'
print ">>", request
self.s.send(request)
reply = self.s.recv(1024)
print "<<", reply
self.print_reply(reply)
#... LOOP ....
i = 0
while 1>0:
#time.sleep(0.01)
i = i + 1
#Send Heartbeat request every say 3 frames ...
if i%3 == 0:
print "\n Sending HEART BEAT request ... \n\n\n"
request = '{"category":"heartbeat"}'
print ".......>> ", request
reply = self.s.recv(1024)
print i, ".......<< HEARBEAT reply: ", reply
print "\n\n"
reply = self.s.recv(1024)
print i, ".<<", reply
Here is an output of my logs (>> is what python script sends over socket, << what it receives back):
