Missing support for "Route Information"(0x8D) and "Aggregate Addressing Update"(0x8E) messages

[davidfarmx]

The "Route Information"(0x8D) and "Aggregate Addressing Update"(0x8E) messages do not have support in the library. To add them, the following files would need modification:
aft.py (in class ApiFrameType); in factory.py(in function build_frame); in common.py (missing classes); in reader.py(in class PacketListener, and method __execute_user_callbacks); devices.py (in class XbeeDevice)

And there needs to have the methods added (such as):
"add_route_info_received_callback", "del_route_info_received_callback", "add_agr_addr_update_callback", and "del_agr_addr_update_callback".

Hi @davidfarmx,

'Route Information Packet' frame (0x8D) is already added in master (commit e204f21)

Regarding the 'Aggregate Addressing Update' (0x8E) support is not included. To use it you can register a callback to listen for all received packets (add_packet_received_callback()) and inside filter by frame type 0x8E, then work with UnknownXBeePacket class:

def my_packet_received_callback(xbee_packet):
    if xbee_packet.get_frame_type_value() != 0x8E:
        return
    # Ignore first byte: frame type byte (0x8E)
    data = xbee_packet.get_frame_spec_data()[1:]
    # Manipulate the data in the packet
    print("Data: %s" % utils.hex_to_string(data))
    # Byte 0: Ignoring reserved byte
    # Bytes 1 - 9: 64-bit address: Address to which DH and DL are being set
    print("New address: %s" % XBee64BitAddress(data[1:9]))
    # Bytes 9 - 17: 64-bit address: Address to which DH and DL were previously set
    print("Old address: %s" % XBee64BitAddress(data[9:17]))

xbee = XBeeDevice(PORT, BAUD_RATE)
xbee.open()

xbee.add_packet_received_callback(my_packet_received_callback)

[...]

xbee.del_packet_received_callback(my_packet_received_callback)
xbee.close()

Best Regards.
