Push button (MMM-Buttons) does not send out notification to MMM-StopwatchTimer

changaud

@sdetweil Thank you for your response! I will keep that in mind, but do I just leave the button configuration in the buttons module blank then? Also, I have it connected to the physical button 22 which translates to GPIO 25 so I wrote 25 down in the configuration file.

you already put it in the config.js file

{
		    	module: 'MMM-Buttons',
			position: "middle_center",
		    	config: {
				buttons: [
			    	{
					pin: 25,
					name: "test_button",
					longPress: {
					notification: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER",
				    	payload: {action: "PAUSE_STOPWATCHTIMER"}
				},
					shortPress: {
				    	notification: "START_STOPWATCH",
				    	payload: {action: "START_STOPWATCH"}
					}
			    	}
			    	
				]
		    	}
		}

config overrides whatever is defined in the source file defaults section

it was just a question… many starting users don’t know about the different numbering

so, when u push the button, outside magic mirror it works…

@sdetweil Yes so weird and frustrating T^T… Here is a picture of my setup. In addition, sometimes I get the error (this image is also in the google drive) and sometimes I don’t. I think it goes away after I delete and reclone the buttons repository. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y_QLDCuhfv9XELST0u2hwxTB4f3Fp4h9?usp=drive_link

is this a pi5?

changaud

@sdetweil This is a pi4 model b.

sdetweil

@changaud if you run your test script before launching mm does it work?

see this

@sdetweil No it does not :( Do the errors possibly have something to do with it? I noticed the errors start to happen after the button is initialized. Also, do I have to have version 2.1.0 or is my current version (most updated) fine?

sdetweil

@changaud i do not know.

the error is that the pin is in read (input) mode, not write (output) mode.

i dont understand the change. on pi5 there is a change, but not pi4

my version of buttons only fixes install
