micropython / micropython-lib

at the line below the example waits for the connected client to disconnect.
What is not obvious is that awaiting this disconnected() call causes an disconnect after 60 seconds!

micropython-lib/micropython/bluetooth/aioble/examples/temp_sensor.py

Line 58 in 8058b29

await connection.disconnected()

It took me a long time reading code before I found the reason why: The timeout_ms parameter for the disconnected() call specifies a default timeout of 60 seconds for the wait, after which a CancelledError is raised, and the peripheral_task() exits, disconnecting the connection.

micropython-lib/micropython/bluetooth/aioble/aioble/device.py

Line 218 in 8058b29

async def disconnected(self, timeout_ms=60000, disconnect=False):

regrettably neither the CancelledError or the stacktrace give any clear indication of what happened.

As this is example code it might be nice to change the example to this instead:

    print("Connection from", connection.device)
    while connection.is_connected():
        temp_characteristic.notify(connection)
        await asyncio.sleep_ms(5_000)

which will push change notifications to the connected client every 5 sec or so, and not disconnect mysteriously (for micropython noobs like me in any case) after 60 seconds.

I can make a PR for this if desired.
