Help needed with Blink1 Listener

[honey-pablo]

Hi, I'm having issues getting the blink1 python to work, having followed the instructions here:

https://github.com/josephdadams/TallyArbiter/tree/master/listener_clients/blink1-listener

• Can anyone confirm that this code works with the latest version of TA.

I have a number of listeners and sources working with TA so I'd like to think i know how it works.

When I run the code the blink lights up white ever few seconds, which i guess reflects it's polling but not the successful double green flash expected.

The error message reports the server as being 3.1.1 which I assume means it can communicate with it (running on the same machine under docker).

Not sure what to try next!

I'm running into the same issue when trying to run the listener script with a raspberry pi zero w. I was able to successfully run the script and connect to a server with a mac though. Not sure what the difference between the two would be. Have you had any luck solving the problem?

No luck i'm afraid. I also just tried it on the Mac following your comment, strangely the previous listener script (for TA <3) does double green flash to show connection but doesn't appear as a listener. The correct latest script for TA > 3 doesn't do anything when i run it...
