syntax error on except KeyboardInterrupt:

[solo2500]

I'm getting a syntax error on the except KeyboardInterrupt: at the end of this program... Any ideas?

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python
# SoloJW
#
# This script controls a fan based on CPU temperature.
#
# It expects a fan that's externally powered, and uses GPIO(BCM) pin 26 for control.

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os

# Return CPU temperature as float
def getCPUtemp():
        cTemp = os.popen('vcgencmd measure_temp').readline()
        return float(cTemp.replace("temp=","").replace("'C\n",""))

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(26,GPIO.OUT)
#GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.output(26, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(2)


while True:

        CPU_temp = getCPUtemp()

        print'CPU TEMP=' , CPU_temp

        if CPU_temp > 51.5:
                GPIO.output(26, GPIO.HIGH)
                print'FAN ON... CPU TEMP=' , CPU_temp

        elif CPU_temp < 50.0:
                GPIO.output(26, GPIO.LOW)
                print'FAN OFF... CPU TEMP=' , CPU_temp
        time.sleep(5)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
GPIO.cleanup()

   

Thanks for any help!

Hi.

you need a try: statement.

like this

Code: Select all

try:
	while True:

			CPU_temp = getCPUtemp()

			print'CPU TEMP=' , CPU_temp

			if CPU_temp > 51.5:
					GPIO.output(26, GPIO.HIGH)
					print'FAN ON... CPU TEMP=' , CPU_temp

			elif CPU_temp < 50.0:
					GPIO.output(26, GPIO.LOW)
					print'FAN OFF... CPU TEMP=' , CPU_temp
			time.sleep(5)


except KeyboardInterrupt:
	GPIO.cleanup()

then it works ok.

An "except" needs a "try" at the start of the code block.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!
