Re: Lost in threading and button interrupts

Thanks for the feedback. I've done that plenty of times with a microcontroller, but I didn't know what was the best approach with the RPI. I ended up getting something working for press to do one thing, hold and release to do another thing. Here is my test code: #!/usr/bin/env python2.7 import time ...

Lost in threading and button interrupts

So, I'm getting lost on threading and interrupts. Here is some pseudo code to help explain import threading import time from time import sleep import os import pygame import RPi.GPIO as GPIO GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP) def countdown(): #I have this work...

Re: Python and Flickr API Authentication

elParaguayo you nailed it. The error had nothing to do with the input of the authentication code. It had everything to do with the perms value not being unicode. That one character 'u' fixed it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Re: How to install Python 2.7.9?

I think I have a reason. I'm getting an Unicode error while trying to authenticate a Flickr api. My thread about it is here:

viewtopic.php?f=32&t=111103

Could I potentially mess up the pi if I do upgrade?

Re: Python and Flickr API Authentication

Thank you. I'll ignore the python warning about versions. And if I add import webbrowser then I can launch the browser and authorize. Yeah. But now I have a new problem.

Oh, I have to copy the kernel and the modules over to boot. I did not do that. I'm not sure which folders I should copy over to. I'll have to do some more digging to understand. Thanks for all the help so far. I really appreciate you giving the time to a noob.
