Subject: CallDistanceTransceiver.py: consider possible delays in transmit_symbol()
X-Git-Url: https://git.ao2.it/SaveMySugar/python3-savemysugar.git/commitdiff_plain/4ec1ed78e91a0a9049b6a4a9803b8bb954084dd7?ds=inline

CallDistanceTransceiver.py: consider possible delays in transmit_symbol()

The ATH command can take some time, resulting in a positive delay; or
the first time.sleep() may terminate earlier resulting in a negative
delay.

In either case compensate for these delays in the second sleep, in order
to try to diverge as little possible from the total nominal symbol
transmission distance.
