Sink Service fetching interval

[keni7385]

Hello,

Is it possible to control the interval period used by the Sink service to fetch data from the Wirepas Mesh network? For instance from a command line parameter, environment variable or even from a variable in the source code?

Thanks,
Keni

Hello,

(Sorry for delay to answer, I was on holiday)

no it is not possible to configure it but could be added if you have the need for it.
It is today defined at lower level in c-mesh-api library.
https://github.com/wirepas/c-mesh-api/blob/master/lib/platform/linux/platform.c#L22

So the library doing the wrapping (at least for linux) poll the interface every 20ms.
It polls every 20 ms when there is no indication but once an indication is retrieved, the library will try to fetch other indications immediately (up to 30 indications).

Would you like to reduce this polling period or increase it?

There is another mechanism with an additional gpio between sink and host mcu to be notified when there is an indication available, removing the need to poll. But it is not implemented in c-mesh-api as this pin is not often present.

Best regards,
Gwendal
