Hmm - when you get Software caused connection abort did you try it more than once just in case it was a glitch?

And how big is the JSON you're sending? Maybe it's huge and that causes a problem? You could just try something really basic.
```
command = "Y('+json.dumps(dict)+')\n"
```
Yes, that's what you'd expect - because as above you're sending the actual text, but not dict at all.

Maybe you could post up your complete code for us to take a look at?

Thanks Gordon,
So I now have double quotes back in and I have tested the connection and it has worked ok so far in terms of not giving the connection error.However the console output looks werid and the watch display is blank.
So I will post the complete code.

``
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import asyncio
import array
from bleak import discover
from bleak import BleakClient
import json

#create dictionary for the data to be sent
dict = {'Code': '10'}

address = "D8:AB:E0:B7:F5:AE"
UUID_NORDIC_TX = "6e400002-b5a3-f393-e0a9-e50e24dcca9e"
UUID_NORDIC_RX = "6e400003-b5a3-f393-e0a9-e50e24dcca9e"
#command = "X("+json.dumps(dict)+")\n"
#command = b"E.showMessage('Hello','A Title')/n"
command = "Y("+json.dumps(dict)+")\n"

def uart_data_received(sender, data):
```
print("RX> {0}".format(data))
```
You can scan for devices with:

async def run():
```
devices = await discover()
for d in devices:
    print(d)
```
print("Connecting...")
async def run(address, loop):
```
async with BleakClient(address, loop=loop) as client:
    print("Connected")
    await client.start_notify(UUID_NORDIC_RX, uart_data_received)
    print("Writing command")
    c=command
    while len(c)>0:
      await client.write_gatt_char(UUID_NORDIC_TX,bytearray((c[0:20]),'utf-8') , True)
      c = c[20:]
    print("Waiting for data")
    await asyncio.sleep(1.0, loop=loop) # wait for a response
    print("Done!")
```
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(run(address, loop))
```
My app. Note function is now Y.
```
E.showMessage("Hello Code");

function Y(dict) {
E.showMessage(dict);

}
```
and the console
```

Looks like my code didnt post well, I will try again.

Code on watch

E.showMessage("Hello Code");

function Y(dict) {
  E.showMessage(dict);
  
}

• #29

fanoush

The quoting in your listing when composing Y() call still looks a bit strange but in your real code you have it right since it is passing data to the watch. From the error 'e.split not found' looks like the E.showMessage expects string parameter and you are passing object {'Code': '10'} such object does not have method called split. so make string out of it e.g. by passing dict.Code to it, then it should print '10'

Hi fanoush,
Thanks.
I presumed you meant I should add your suggestion to my code app.
I did that and still no result yet.

Sorry fanoush correction. I used a modified version of bleak.
Original version worked!! at last thanks to you and Gordon.
I have plenty more to do with this but I hope I wont have to bother you too soon.
For completeness
Watch No change from above.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
