[MMM-Buttons] Not recognizing button presses

Mar

@istepgueu im assuming the following would just send out a test broadcast that the pm2 logs can see? It sees the notifications from all the other modules i.e CALENDA_EVENTS etc… when they happen.

{
                    module: 'MMM-Buttons',
                    config: {
                        buttons: [
                            {
                                pin: 5,
                                name: "TEST",
                                shortPress: {
                                    notification: "TEST_ACTION",
                                    payload: {action: "ACTIONON"}
                                },
                                longPress: undefined
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                },

@istepgueu Can I add the snippet and instructions to the readme?

istepgueu

@Jopyth Yes of course !

@istepgueu So my button registers properly but its not sending out a notification at all. There are no errors and my mirror loads correctly. I’m using the pin5:test code above.

istepgueu

@Mar you can you test with this code and capture log from firebug

{
                pin: 5,
                name: "power",
                longPress: {
                    title: "Power off",
                    message: "Keep pressed for 3 seconds to shut down",
                    imageFA: "power-off",
                    notification: "REMOTE_ACTION",
                    payload: {action: "SHUTDOWN"}
                },
                shortPress: undefined
            }

@istepgueu Alright now this is weird. I have my MM running via HDMI, and also opened it up in a Chrome tab on my laptop. When i press the buttong the inspector shows the log of the button and I get a popup on Chrome. But nothing is happening on the screen connected to the actual pi?

istepgueu

@Mar I suppose you have try

pm2 restart mm

Mar

@istepgueu Tried that, also tried a reboot. Doesnt work on the screen connected to the pi, but still does when i access via a browser. Also when i access via a browser I see this show up in the logs “Initialize button power on PIN 5” but this line doesnt show up when restarting MM and accessing via the HDMI.

@Mar Ok
1 - Your button is connected on PIN N°29 = GPIO 5 ?
2 - Which type of button do you have ? It’s a Push button (Button that returns alone) or a button who stay ?

Sorry for my english… i’m French :-)

Mar

@istepgueu thank you, and not a problem of course. i can understand you perfectly fine.

correct pin 29, bcm 5
i have this type of 4 pin button. press to activate and returns to initial position when you let go ()
