🔒 Need help for Multitasking in CircuitPython with asyncio

[quiet imp]

I made this project https://learn.adafruit.com/lightsaber-rp2040/overview but in the code , the lightsaber swing sound is blocking the code until its fully played so i want to play the sound without interrupting the code (with asyncio because Circuit Python don't support multi threading :/ ) ... Can someone help me ?

The audiobusio module would need to support asyncio. I don't see where it does.

@novel kettle my bad i gave u a modified version... In the original code, line 140-149, u can see that the sound is blocking the code to to other things

and i just want the swing sound playing to be non restrictive because it makes everything lagging when saber is movin

[novel kettle]

Your while statement on 143 is blocking and continuously updating the pixels. Could that be the problem?

[quiet imp]

it is but even if i don't update light and put nothing after, swing sound is instantly cut by the idle sound (play_wav(1, loop=True))...

[novel kettle]

Set the color once. Then while playing: pass

[quiet imp]

same problem, the swing audio block the program until its finished so when i move the saber its impossible to turn off or do hit animation

[novel kettle]

after swing what is wave1?

[quiet imp]

wav 1 is the saber sound when its on (always playing in the background)

[novel kettle]

I guess you could check for hit and button presses during the while playing loop.

and then stop the swing and break out.

Off to work. Good luck!
