Event with Bolt

[Dlawlet]

Hello,
I can't seem to use the events (collision, landing, etc.), even the examples given in the API documentation don't work for me. Can I have a full example if it's my code that is the problem.
I am using a win11 with python 3.8.5.
Here is my code:

import sys
from spherov2 import scanner
from spherov2.sphero_edu import SpheroEduAPI, EventType
from spherov2.types import Color


def on_collision(droid):
        droid.stop_roll()
        print('Collision')
        droid.set_heading(droid.get_heading() + 180)
        time.sleep(0.5)
        droid.set_main_led(Color(255, 22, 255))
        droid.set_speed(100)

toy = scanner.find_toy(toy_name=sys.argv[1])
with SpheroEduAPI(toy) as droid:
    for i in range(50):
        droid.register_event(EventType.on_collision, on_collision)
        droid.set_main_led(Color(255, 255, 255))
        droid.set_speed(100)
        time.sleep(.5)```

Hi, can you try if using the edu app works?

[Dlawlet]

yes, with edu app it works

[Dlawlet]

For the collision event, seem like the fonction _colision_detected_notify() is never called, so i made a fonction to call it manually.
IR event and other still not working for me.

#30 Maybe the same reason. Again, without a BOLT it's hard to know why unless you can provide me some debug information.

I'm working on various fixes for Bolt.
The handler for collision was not set correctly in bolt.py

I pushed my sandbox branch so you can see the fix here : poiuytrezaur@99c1e05?diff=unified#diff-2ca5105736d73cf3855940cf13b3cdb49c62bf0d65247fc5a49ae5913e79f7feR198

I'll submit a clean PR later next week with all the fixes I did

Here's a cleaned up PR for BOLT API : #31

However, the collision packet fails to decode (wrong packet size, expected 18 bytes but packet sent by bolt is 16 bytes). I don't have access to a decompiled version of the EDU API so I can't check how the event args are decoded.

My temporary workaround until the event args are properly decoded can be found here : poiuytrezaur@617d133

This enables to retrieve the event, without args (like EDU API)

Wanted to bump this - Also getting wrong packet size.
