How do i fix "OSError: [Errno 110] ETIMEDOUT" on this code?

[misaalanshori]

Here is the error:

>>> import clock
connecting to last APTrue
Connection successful
('192.168.0.33', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '192.168.0.1') OpenWrt

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "clock.py", line 4, in <module>
File "ntptime.py", line 23, in time
OSError: [Errno 110] ETIMEDOUT

Here is the clock.py file:

Code: Select all

import quickoled, ntptime, utime, random, network, wificonnect
while True:
    quickoled.oled.fill(0)
    time = ntptime.time()
    tm = utime.localtime(time)
    randomY = random.randint(0,108)
    randomX = random.randint(0,64)
    print((tm[0], tm[1], tm[2], tm[6] + 7, tm[3], tm[4], tm[5], 0))
    dateStr = str(tm[2]) + " - " + str(tm[1]) + " - " + str(tm[0])
    timeStr = str(tm[6] + 7) + ":" + str(tm[3]) + ":" + str(tm[4]) + ":" + str(tm[5])
    quickoled.oled.text(dateStr, randomX, randomY, 1)
    quickoled.oled.text(dateStr, randomX, randomY + 10, 1)
    quickoled.oled.show()

and here is the ntptime.py file:

Code: Select all

try:
    import usocket as socket
except:
    import socket
try:
    import ustruct as struct
except:
    import struct
# (date(2000, 1, 1) - date(1900, 1, 1)).days * 24*60*60
NTP_DELTA = 3155673600

host = "pool.ntp.org"

def time():
    NTP_QUERY = bytearray(48)
    NTP_QUERY[0] = 0x1b
    addr = socket.getaddrinfo(host, 123)[0][-1]
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    try:
        s.settimeout(5)
        res = s.sendto(NTP_QUERY, addr)
        msg = s.recv(48)
    finally:
        s.close()
    val = struct.unpack("!I", msg[40:44])[0]
    return val - NTP_DELTA

# There's currently no timezone support in MicroPython, so
# utime.localtime() will return UTC time (as if it was .gmtime())
def settime():
    t = time()
    import machine
    import utime
    tm = utime.localtime(t)
    machine.RTC().datetime((tm[0], tm[1], tm[2], tm[6] + 1, tm[3], tm[4], tm[5], 0))

I have changed the s.settimeout() value but its still not working and giving me the same error

Does it happen every time you try to synchronize the time?

On my devices syncing the time often fails at first try. If that happens I make it retry 5 seconds later. Typically that is enough but occasionally it needs more retries, on one device it recently logged 38 consecutive attempts until it actually succeeded (with 2 wifi reconnects in between).
So it is normal that it happens, as long as you get some successful attempts too.

Yes, the error happens when its trying to sync the time. So my solution was to put the syncing code in a "try:" and put "continue" in the "except:" so it just continues the loop and just tries again instead of stopping the program. There's probably a better solution but for now its good enough for me...

[kevinkk525]

make sure to have some time between different attempts. At first I also just used try: continue but on sometimes the sockets wouldn't have been clean up yet and my esp8266 crashed after too many attempts. Now I have a 5 seconds delay between the attempts and that seems to work reliable.

My Code worked fine and since yesterday I get this Error on every code with usage of i2C. After turning the board on and off it worked for a while... How can it sometimes work and sometime not?

I think I found my problem. I deleted by cleaning the code "Pin.board.EN_3V3.value(1)".
If I open a file with this line of code, my cleaned code will run till I restart the board.
