Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi,

I would like to control a group of servos from a keyboard.

I have the servos up and running and can control them from inside a Python script but I would like there to be some user interaction. I was thinking about using the USB keyboard I have plugged into the RPi.

Ideally I would like the keyboard scanning to be done in the background and interupt the servos' behaviour only when a key stroke is detected. The servo behaviour being dependant on the which key is pressed.

At the moment though I would be happy with just being able to read a character from the keyboard. This seem like a simple thing but my web search has just ended up confusing me

Thanks for any help

The PyGame module has very good event handling and is easy to implement, I'd try that.

Thanks Dave that's just what I was after.
