Loop Interrupt

[resist10k]

Hello All Im pretty new to programming and im running into an issue. Ive been looking around everywhere but i cant seem to figure out how to get my program to work. I have a PWM for loop running to fade an LED. Id like to get user input from keyboard to stop the PWM loop.I cant use raw_input because that will stop the loop. Is there an EASY way to get a key press while a for loop is running? ive tried pygame but i cant seem to get it tor work. Everything i try seems to need to be out of a loop to run. Im trying to run this all from a ssh shell so it wont have any windows or anything. The workaround ive been doing is to launch another terminal and run a seperate python script with just the loop there which works but id like it a bit more neat. Again im pretty new to programming i was looking into threading but couldnt quite figure it out. Any suggestions will help thanks

So ive tried curses and a couple other libraries and im still stuck. It seems that most libraries stop execution of the loop and wait for input so i cant have my PWM continue until key press. Pygame dosent look like its for command line programs. So im still kinda lost

Did you look at this. You need to specifically tell curses not to wait for input.

Code: Select all

damn.nodelay(1) # doesn't keep waiting for a key press
