Help!

Hello
I have had my GPIO board for a while now and I can turn LEDS on and off again but is there a way that instead of typing:
GPIO.output(7,True)
To turn it on is there a way that I can type 'on' to run that section of code and also the same goes for the off command.

Can anyone help

Thanks

You can use HIGH & LOW or true & false or 0 & 1.
You can equate on to 1 and off to 0

Code: Select all

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import sys

on = 1
off = 0

pin = 11
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(pin, GPIO.OUT)

for i in range(0,999):
    sys.stdout.write("\rBlinking ...")
    sys.stdout.flush()
    GPIO.output(pin,on)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    sys.stdout.write("\r         ...")
    sys.stdout.flush()
    GPIO.output(pin,off)
    time.sleep(0.5)

sys.stdout.write("\n")
sys.stdout.flush()
print "Done"
