Code to check if the switch is pressed

Wed Jun 10, 2015 6:09 pm

I just need to know what the code is to check the central press of the joystick and if it is not pressed, then to loop back and check again, meaning it is constantly checking.
Thanks

How is the joystick connected?

The Astro Pi / Sense HAT's joystick is mapped to the up/down/left/right/enter keys on the keyboard. To detect joystick use, use an event loop in PyGame:

Hi. I want to know how to code my Pi so that when I move the Joystick one way, the 'page' which is being shown on the LEDs will move to a different page. Eg. One page shows the temperature, the joystick is moved right, the next page shows the humidity. I don't understand how to do this.

Thanks!

Post some code showing how you currently show each 'page' and how you are reading the joystick buttons and I can help fill in the blanks.

Re: Code to check if the switch is pressed

Fri Jun 19, 2015 8:14 pm

If you're going to post code on the forum can you post it in [code]... your code goes here ... [/code] tags.

That makes the difference between

if event.key == K_DOWN and ap.set_pixels == 'twenty_nine':
ap.set_pixels == 'twenty_three'

and

Code: Select all

if event.key == K_DOWN and ap.set_pixels == 'twenty_nine':
    ap.set_pixels == 'twenty_three'
