Using GPIO buttons to control Raspbmc

3.4k Views Asked by At

I am trying to write code for a car xbmc project. I made my own button keypad with pull-down resistors and plugged into the GPIO ports. Installed python and the GPIO addon. My goal is to catch button presses, and if the button is held for 1.5 secs, it will execute a different command to xbmc (for example, the right key would skip to the next track if held). I'm not too familiar with Python, so it's been a pretty long process getting to where I am. I chose to use the GPIO.add_event_detect() function since it has a built-in debouncer, but I think it's new because I can't find many examples of it being used. This is what is throwing errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I thought I was just hitting that command and popping the error, but I was iterating the loop first. This makes sense since the event catcher cant be turned on more than once. I simply edited my code to initialize it and add a new event detect only when the button is pressed. I also cleaned up the code I found on an XBMC forum and it works.
