Problem Adding Buttons & required Remote-Control Modules

MarcLandis

it seems that the MMM-Jast module is throwing the error:

[2024-09-16 15:04:00.408] [ERROR] ReferenceError: Log is not defined
at Object. (/home/awwbaker/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Jast/MMM-Jast.js:14:6243)

@MarcLandis its because MagicMirror-remote-control is doing a require() on the module js

Mr @sdetweil
I tested my button press using:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(6, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

while True:
input_state = GPIO.input(6)
if input_state == False:
print(‘Button Pressed’)
time.sleep(0.2)

That worked fine. I found the module MMM-ModuleToggleButton which seemed a bit simpler and directly what wanted to do. The demo script used GPIO 6 so used default. Do i need to use a pull_down resister? Thank Thank you again! VR Anthony

PS: Sam I looked for a link to buy you a cup of coffee, not found, but if you have one, please forward?

Mr @sdetweil, I also noted the below error ? Thank you!

@awwbaker ps: i don’t accept coffee etc. i do this because i truly enjoy it.
i love the challenge, the great people here, and the fascinatingly huge amount of differences among all your designs.

Dear Mr @sdetweil
I think you are teaching me to fish…Did you see the error message below? Beyond the below, I booted the RPI 3B+, ran the “pinctrl set 6 op dl” command. Started MM and as previously the expected modules were hidden on start up. Pressing pushbutton did not have any affect on the display. I ran the button.py script and the button was sensed as previous. As your time permits I could use another push. Your efforts are VERY appreciated. VR Anthony Baker

@awwbaker i am on my phone, i can’t edit, and it wants to quote whole thing .

the os has changed the rules

i posted a response the other day to a topic that had some workarounds without coding changes

Dear Mr @sdetweil
Please see above, it seems “on-off” is throwing errors. It seems it is used by Remote-Control-Modules as well as Buttons. I wnet back and tried buttons. The error is below: Thank you very much. Anthony

@awwbaker yes as i posted before

errno: -22,
code: ‘EINVAL’,
syscall: ‘write’
}

the os has changed how this needs to be done
i posted a link to suggestions on how to resolve it without code changes

the Log not found is caused by the remotecontrol module
