Button

A push-button, which returns to inactive position when not operated anymore.

import { Button } from "@devicescript/core"

const button = new Button()

Registers

reading

Indicates the pressure state of the button, where 0 is open.

  • read only
import { Button } from "@devicescript/core"

const button = new Button()

const value = await button.reading.read()
  • track incoming values
import { Button } from "@devicescript/core"

const button = new Button()
// ...
button.reading.subscribe(async (value) => {
...
})

analog

Indicates if the button provides analog pressure readings.

  • read only
import { Button } from "@devicescript/core"

const button = new Button()

const value = await button.analog.read()

pressed

Determines if the button is pressed currently.

If the event down or hold is observed, pressed becomes true; if up is observed, pressed becomes false. The client should initialize pressed to false.

  • read only
import { Button } from "@devicescript/core"

const button = new Button()

const value = await button.pressed.read()
  • track incoming values
import { Button } from "@devicescript/core"

const button = new Button()
// ...
button.pressed.subscribe(async (value) => {
...
})

Events

down

Emitted when button goes from inactive to active.

})

up

Emitted when button goes from active to inactive. The 'time' parameter records the amount of time between the down and up events.

hold

Emitted when the press time is greater than 500ms, and then at least every 500ms as long as the button remains pressed. The 'time' parameter records the the amount of time that the button has been held (since the down event).
