Buttons for beer and coffee

Hello!
I'm going to use a remote control and wire the buttons, to detect when someone opens the refrigerator or the cabinets.

315MHZ 4 Channel Wireless RF Remote Control

I'm trying to detect different buttons, I could connect one, but I do not know how to detect different buttons for different actions.

This is my InMoov_custom.py

#left=Runtime.create("i01.left", "Arduino")
#left.setBoard("atmega2560")
#left = Runtime.start("i01.left", "Arduino")
#left.connect("COM4")

def publishPin(pins):
    for pin in range(0, len(pins)):
        print pins[pin].address, pins[pin].value
        if pins[pin].value>0:

          # How to identify pin 49, 47, etc?
          # if 49
          wantBeer()

# if 47
#wantCoffee()

left.addListener("publishPinArray","python","publishPin")
left.enablePin(49, 1)
left.enablePin(47, 1)

Thanks!

It should be if pin ==

It should be if pin == 49:

Take this with a grain of salt as I can't test this right now.

Your updated script would then look like:

# -- already created
#left=Runtime.create("i01.left", "Arduino")
#left.setBoard("atmega2560")
#left = Runtime.start("i01.left", "Arduino")
#left.connect("COM4")

def publishPin(pins):
for pin in range(0, len(pins)):
print pins[pin].address, pins[pin].value
if pins[pin].value>0:

        # How to identify pin 49, 47, etc!
        if pin == 49:
          wantBeer()

if pin == 47:
wantCoffee()

left.addListener("publishPinArray","python","publishPin")
left.enablePin(49, 1)
left.enablePin(47, 1)

Thanks MaVo for the quick

Thanks MaVo for the quick response, but it does not work for me.

I can't even print a text.

          # nothing is printed out
          print "--------------------------"
          print "This text does not come out printed"
          print "Remote button: ",pin

          # No worky
          if pin == 49:
            wantBeer()

          # No worky
          if pin == 47:
            wantCoffee()

# Nothing happens.

left.addListener("publishPinArray","python","publishPin")
left.enablePin(49, 1)
left.enablePin(47, 1)

I'd use default

I'd use default rate

e.g.

left.enablePin(49)

do you get "anything" printed out ?

might want to send a noWorky...

Ahoy Grog! I just send

Ahoy Grog!

I just send noWorky.

I try
left.enablePin(49)
left.enablePin(47)

but SwinGui seems to freeze and not respond for seconds.

        if pins[pin].value>0:

          # This works
          #wantBeer()

          # but a I have noticed that some times
          # loops forever as if the button was still pressed

          # nothing is printed out
          print "--------------------------"
          print "This text does not come out printed"
          print "Remote pin: ",pin

          # No worky.
          if pin == 49:
            wantBeer()

          # No worky.
          if pin == 47:
            wantCoffee()

# Nothing happens.

left.addListener("publishPinArray","python","publishPin")
left.enablePin(49,1)
left.enablePin(47,1)

# SwinGui seems to freeze using this and takes too long for respond
#left.enablePin(49)

Is there any magic way to post here the code of a .py file with the syntax colored as in the examples of the services? Or attach the files?

I don't know if I can see de status of the pins in this screen, I click "read" and errors appear:

Maybe a very stupid

Cant start here too, gives a

For Beer And Coffee ! - this

For Beer And Coffee ! - this is important...

I had to laugh at myself for not spotting a big problem sooner.

Astro, whenever you "subcribe" to a publishing method the callback method will follow certain conventions.

Whenver you see a publishPin being subcribed, the callback will be onPin

always change "publish" ==to==> "on"

def publishPin(pins):

    for pin in range(0, len(pins)):

        print pins[pin].address, pins[pin].value

        if pins[pin].value>0:

becomes

def onPin(pins):

    for pin in range(0, len(pins)):

        print pins[pin].address, pins[pin].value

        if pins[pin].value>0:

onPin looked a little flakey,

onPin looked a little flakey, but onPinArray is worky for me...
See the following : publishPinArray is somewhat an optimization for communicating pin changes in a batch.

Worky!

Thank you Grog!

Now I understand. I was waiting for the "print" to appear printed in the command window. That's why I did not see anything printed.

I was using publishPin because I was following this example:

http://myrobotlab.org/content/mrl-1742-analog-reader-correct-method

I translated your code to my InMoov_custom.py and add state change detection to trigger only once.
I'm not a good programmer, but I could figure out how to do it after many mistakes.

Now I don't have to be stuck only in beer, which is not a problem, but I also need coffee to keep working. :)
