Error with repeated readaddress commands

[jpfingstmann]

I'm not sure if this is just happening on my box, but when doing multiple reads, it eventually fails (usually pretty quickly). The levelASet and levelBSet commands do a read of what I assume is the 0x4064 and 0x4065 addresses as part of the change. I'm not sure why this is, but I see regular failures:

power = 1
... while power < 50:
... power += 1
... et312.levelASet(level=power)
... time.sleep(0.2)
...
True
True (x 14)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 4, in
et312.levelASet(level=power)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/home/pchan/buttshockold/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mk312/com.py", line 519, in levelASet
read_levela = self.readaddress(address=ADDRESS_LEVELA)
File "/home/pchan/buttshockold/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mk312/com.py", line 220, in readaddress
raise MK312ReceivingLengthException('Reading failed getting %i bytes.' % len(read_data))
mk312.exceptions.MK312ReceivingLengthException: Reading failed getting 2 bytes.

However, this runs consistently without issue:

power = 1
... while power < 50:
... power += 1
... et312.writedata(address=16484,data=power)
... time.sleep(0.2)
...
True
True
True
True
True

It could be my box, it's pretty old, but I have tried different cables, just in case. I also adjusted the time to 0.5 or 1 second and it still happens, so it doesn't appear to be a timing issue (unless within the levelASet routine itself).

I tested my box with https://github.com/clxjaguar/mk312-gui/tree/main and was able to receive constant updates for the POTS on the interface, which I think indicates the box itself is behaving properly. I am running F005 firmware (community modified, I think maybe from the original buttshock code).
