so im building a pi based robot. It uses a ps3 controller for input. When the X button is pressed, it takes a photo. For some reason, it takes around 5 shots at a time. Is there a way to bounce the input so it only recognises one press?
I'm assuming it's registering multiple presses each time... Part of the code is attached, but I must state most of it is used from piborg.org
joystick = pygame.joystick.Joystick(0)
button_take_picture = 14 # X button
while running:
# Get the latest events from the system
hadEvent = False
events = pygame.event.get()
# Handle each event individually
for event in events:
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
# User exit
running = False
elif event.type == pygame.JOYBUTTONDOWN:
# A button on the joystick just got pushed down
hadEvent = True
elif event.type == pygame.JOYAXISMOTION:
# A joystick has been moved
hadEvent = True
if hadEvent:
if joystick.get_button(button_take_picture):
take_picture()
What seems to be happening is that the X button stays down for multiple frames. Some other events might happen during this time, causing a call to take_picture()
in your code for every frame. To fix this, you can either call take_picture()
only on JOYBUTTONUP
(when the button is released), or move the if joystick.get_button(button_take_picture)
part to inside the pygame.JOYBUTTONDOWN
section.
Alternatively, you could use another variable to indicate whether the picture was already taken, like this:
picture_was_taken = False
while running:
hadEvent = False
events = pygame.event.get()
for event in events:
...
if event.type == pygame.JOYBUTTONUP:
if not joystick.get_button(button_take_picture)
picture_was_taken = False
...
if hadEvent:
if joystick.get_button(button_take_picture) and not picture_was_taken:
take_picture()
picture_was_taken = True
