Issues with exiting
Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2019 10:44 pm
I am playing with two 8/8/8 Phidgets, using the Python API on Ubuntu. On MacOS I have no problem, but on Linux this comes up. My script works right the first time, but after I close it or kill it a few times I lose the ability to open channels.
I believe I am closing all of my ports properly, but it seems something may not be exiting properly.
Is it possible to run a "clean" command when my script starts to avoid this issue if it everything wasn't closed properly on the last exit? The only thing that I'm able to do to fix the problem is to reboot Linux.
My code is below, let me know if I am not exiting properly. I'm a beginner with both Python and Phidgets.
