ESP32 aioespnow + asyncio + espnow + peers + broadcast is a trap in MicroPython 1.27 ?

[Fisherman48]

Hi
Playing with ChatGPT to build a HomeSystem server/store/web and nodes sending enviroment data using espnow and esp32 / esp32-c3/c6 and 1.27.0 .
Trying different levels of services and sofistication to handle changes like change of wifi channel, restart ... I have difficulties in finding good enougt solutions.

One conclution from ChatGPT was: aioespnow + asyncio + espnow + peers + broadcast is a trap in MicroPython 1.27 ?

Any thougts about that?

As far as I can remember, __aiter__ from AIOESPNow blocks somewhere. Do you have a receiver loop like this in your code?

Code from docs: https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/espnow.html#aioespnow.AIOESPNow._aiter__

e = AIOESPNow()
e.active(True)
async def recv_till_halt(e):
    async for mac, msg in e:
        print(mac, msg)
        if msg == b'halt':
          break
asyncio.run(recv_till_halt(e))
