Issue with external control commands

[ericstoneking]

Did you run the Standalone example successfully? If not, then you should do that first, and if there are issues, maybe I can help you resolve them.

If you have run Standalone successfully, then the issue is with your code, and out of my scope. It's your responsibility to find your way forward. Happy coding!

Hello @ericstoneking

Let me put the question in other form due to other observations from multiple tests.

I found that no matter what I send, I will get the warning "Imsg limit exceeded" if the length of the transmitted message is more than 5 characters

For example:

By sending the following, I get no warning 
socket.send(b'TIME')
But sending the following will show the "Imsg limit exceeded" warning
socket.send(b'TIME 2020-001-00:00:10.000000000')

Also I am not sure if I want to update the time, as an example, what format should I use from the following:

1- socket.send(b'TIME 2020-001-00:00:10.000000000')
2- socket.send(b'TIME 2020-001-00:00:10.000000000 \n')
3- socket.send(b'TIME 2020-001-00:00:10.000000000 [EOF] \n')
4- socket.send(b'TIME 2020-001-00:00:10.000000000 \n [EOF]')
or to separate every 4 characters by delimiter like
5- socket.send(b'TIME \n2020\n-001\n-00:\n00:1\n0.00\n0000\n000\n')
6- socket.send(b'TIME [EOF]2020[EOF]-001[EOF]-00:[EOF]00:1[EOF]0.00[EOF]0000[EOF]000[EOF]')
7- socket.send(b'TIME [EOF]2020[EOF]-001[EOF]-00:[EOF]00:1[EOF]0.00[EOF]0000[EOF]000[EOF]\n')

Could you help me with this issue, please?
I have been struggling with it since long

For anyone having the same issue, this solved it:

read_bytes = client_socket.recv(416)
client_socket.send(b'Ack \n')

client_socket.send(b'SC[0].AC.Whl[0].Tcmd = 1 \n[EOF]')
client_socket.recv(4)  # receive ack on sent command

read_bytes = client_socket.recv(416)
client_socket.send(b'Ack \n')

client_socket.send(b'SC[0].AC.Whl[1].Tcmd = 2 \n[EOF]')
client_socket.recv(4)  # receive ack on sent command
