skywriter - python to javascript

[kclemen]

Node helper:
self.sendSocketNotification('gesture', message.gesture);

script:

Module.register("MMM-skywriter",{
	
	//	gesture_up: 0,
	//	gesture_right: 0,	

	// Override socket notification handler.
	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
			console.log ("socketnotificationreceived.")
		if (payload === "up"){
			console.log("test - up");
		}
		else if (payload === "left"){
			console.log("test - left");
		}
		else if (payload === "down") {
			console.log("test - down");
		}
} ```

Why is there no ccommunication between the helper and the script?	}

@kclemen Are you searching for the output in your browser console? The console.log("...") command from node_helper.js is shown on the console, however console.log("...") commands of your module will appear in your developer tools console in the browser (e.g. electron).

@Jopyth said in skywriter - python to javascript:

developer tools console in the browser (e.g. electron).

Indeed, I want to see the output to verify the communication works.
Could you elaborate some more about the developer tools console?

ctrl + shift + i does the trick :)

@Jopyth you are a HERO. Last 2 days working on it, antd the trick was that simple!

@kclemen I was just pointing you in the right direction sometimes. ;) Best of luck with finishing the rest of the module.

ok, for now the last question ;):

Uncaught reference error: gesture_up is not defined. I understand what this means, but I can’t figure out why it says that :s

	
	// Default module config.
	defaults: {
		gesture_up: 0,
		gesture_right: 0,
		
	},

	// Override socket notification handler.
	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if (notification === "gesture_observed"){
			const self = this;
			
			console.log ("socketnotificationreceived.");
		
			//self.sendNotification(notification, payload);
			
			if (payload === "up"){
				
				if (gesture_up == 0) {
					
					if (gesture_up == 0){
						gesture_up = gesture_up+1;
						
						console.log("gesture_up is nu 1");

Try this.config.gesture_up instead

[kclemen]

This helps indeed for the error, thanks. But how to use it like I want? I mean, how can you do calculations within following up socketnotifications? It looks like with every gesture the this.config;gesture_up starts with the value 0.
