SenseHat Joystick events

[Stoop]

If you look here https://pythonhosted.org/sense-hat/api/#joystick you will see this code:

Code: Select all

from sense_hat import SenseHat
from time import sleep

sense = SenseHat()
event = sense.stick.wait_for_event()
print("The joystick was {} {}".format(event.action, event.direction))
sleep(0.1)
event = sense.stick.wait_for_event()
print("The joystick was {} {}".format(event.action, event.direction))

When I run this, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/scripts/joy1.py", line 5, in <module>
event = sense.stick.wait_for_event()
AttributeError: 'SenseHat' object has no attribute 'stick'

Anyone know what's up?

Is your Pi's software up to date?
There have been changes to the Sense Hat modules in the last month.
If your running Jessie,

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

should get you up to date.

Hope this helps,
Dave.

Yes, thanks Dave, I did perform an update just the other day and I am all up to date.

The apt package hasn't been updated yet. Will get that fixed asap.

They are available in pip already, see here: viewtopic.php?f=104&t=154230
But if you can wait a few days they should also be available in apt.
