nrf52832 sniffer

[KV]

I am trying to set up the sniffer on nRF52832 DK PCA10040. I am not seeing the COM port on the Wireshark interface. I can see it on the device manager. I have looked at other threads, but I am not able to resolve my issue.

I tried the following command "nrf_sniffer.py --extcap-interfaces" . I get the following error.

I am using beta sniffer firmware nrf_sniffer_2.0.0-beta-1_51296aa and Wireshark version 2.4.3. Can you help me setting this up? Thanks.

C:\Program Files\Wireshark\extcap\nrf_sniffer_2.0.0-beta-1_51296aa\extcap>nrf_sniffer.py --extcap-interfaces Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\extcap\nrf_sniffer_2.0.0-beta-1_51296aa\extcap\nrf_sniffer.py", line 62, in from SnifferAPI import Sniffer, myVersion, Logger, UART File "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\extcap\nrf_sniffer_2.0.0-beta-1_51296aa\extcap\SnifferAPI\Sniffer.py", line 36, in import Logger, Version ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Logger'

I have the same problem. Using python 3.6.4 via Anaconda.

If you change your import lines to look like the following, you'll get around the issue:

import os
import sys
import argparse
import re
import time
import struct
import serial
import logging
sys.path.append('SnifferAPI')
from SnifferAPI import Sniffer, myVersion, Logger, UART

From here, I'm having problems with print statements, seems like the documentation is incorrect when it specifies we can use python 3.4 or newer -- all the code expects python 2 style print syntax.

Hi Mason ,

Please make sure you use Python version 2.7.x not v3.x.

"Version 3.4 or newer" mentioned in the documentation is for pyserial not python.

Hello,
I am trying same in ubuntu, i ran the python script and did not see any error message. But still i can not see the nrf interface in wireshark. I have gone through the troubleshooting section of the user guide. But could not resolve the issue.
