Can't convert int to string

[Sfrjoshpro]

In _send self.p_tx pin(self.pin_txd

Seems to give me this error. Been trying everything. Not sure. Can copy and paste all your code and nothing

hello @Sfrjoshpro

it relates to the SDI12 address used. Instead of integer address, use it as string (e.x. "0")

Indeed this needs to be made more flexible.

Yea this is a basic issue i tried hard coding the value and it just
Locks up my esp32 and I have to reflash the firmware

[Sfrjoshpro]

I'll give ThAt a shot and report back

If I pass a int tho it cause it to lock up and I have to reflash.

First of all, sharing screenshots is not a very effient way to help you with code bugs. always prefer copy/pasting code in your response. Also try to write one answer each time (not multiple responses) as they are harder to track.

Any way, the code you should run is:

from microsdi12 import SDI12

sdi12 = None

try:
    sdi12 = SDI12(16,  17,  None, 2) # Pins are integers

    manufacturer = None
    model = None
    sensor_response = None
    address = "3" # Addresse are strings

    if sdi12.is_active(address):
        manufacturer, model = sdi12.get_sensor_info(address)
        response_array = sdi12.get_measurement(address)
        print(response_array)
except Exception as e:
    print("Exception while reading SDI-12 data")
finally:
    if sdi12:
        sdi12.close()

Regading the "device locking" that you mention, most likely the device that you are using is already using the UART 1 for something else. Thus, when initializing the SDI12 with UART ID 1, the device looses control. This is why i have initialized the SDI12 object with UART ID 2 at the end.

Thanks and my apologies I'm new to most this GitHub stuff. I'll give that a shot thanks
