I have noticed an issue with Olympe SDK v7.4.2 where the CPU load of one thread in the Python process creeps from < 10% load (of one core) to 100% load (still of one core). This results in events of Olympe being delayed, e.g. a button press of the SkyController is registered only after ~10 seconds, which makes it unusable after 100% is reached and the drone has to be emergency landed.
I have raised an issue on github: Olympe SDK Issue #40
Hi,
This is a known issue in the 7.X release series that we’ve been aware of lately. This issue should be fixed in the upcoming 7.5 release that should land in late December / early January.
Hi ndessart,
thank you for your quick reply. I am glad to hear that this issue is known and it is being worked on.
In the meantime, is there a known fix or workaround? Would you be able to provide a pre-release with only the fix, or only a commit or even some instructions how i could fix Olympe myself?
Thank you.

There is no workaround and the fix is composed of multiple commits so it wouldn’t be that simple to share it independently. Anyway, a 7.5.0-rc1 is planned for next week so you shouldn’t have to wait for the 7.5.0 final.
Thank you for working on a fix.
How would i get the 7.5.0-rc1 release? The github is still on 7.4.2. Is there another mirror for releases?
The 7.5.0-rc1 of Anafi Ai and GroundSDK has been delayed and we’re usually trying to keep all SDK components in sync. I’ll try to release Olympe 7.5.0-rc1 ASAP and keep you informed here.
Hello

Thanks for the update. Testing it now.
During installation there is a small issue with protobuf dependency. Olympe states to require protobuf v3.19.4, but this gives an error in ‘import olympe’: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘google.protobuf.message_factory’
The fix is simple: pip insall --upgrade protobuf
It will complain about a version mismatch with Olympe, but i ignored it. Now import of olympe works.
The CPU load seems to be stable now, highest thread in my application is now ~19%, which i believe is the on of the video decoders. The main event thread of Olympe is below that, which is very nice. Thanks for the fix. Together with the CPU load issue, also the issue where the SkyController becomes unresponsive is gone now.
I cannot reproduce this issue after:
Can you please share the pip version you are using ?
I’m currently using pip 22.3.1.
Thanks
