Do you have code somewhere? On a high level you have a state machine going. And guessing something is initializing early and possibly something else is blocking

I thought I put the code in

hollow plaza Do you have code somewhere? On a high level you have a state machine going. And ...

Sorry bout that, heh, must've sleected the wrong thing, been getting fustrated

hollow plaza Apr 3, 2024, 4:00 AM

#

I'm not seeing a button. Is it not there yet?

#

Also when you power it on (if the switches are off) it's going to land in that second else.

obsidian pelican Apr 3, 2024, 4:04 AM

#

Ahh, the button's not there yet, sorry

#

sorry, was afk

#

Ok, so how should I chain these together so it works in...squence?

hollow plaza Apr 3, 2024, 4:12 AM

#

So I would probably do something more like:

#

if sw1 or sw2:
  # do light things
elif sw1:
  # do sw1 specific thing
elif sw2:
  # do sw2 specific thing
else:
  # stop everything

obsidian pelican Apr 3, 2024, 4:14 AM

#

kk, gimme a sec, I'll put that in

hollow plaza Apr 3, 2024, 4:15 AM

#

I might also recommend looking at the de-bounce library: https://learn.adafruit.com/debouncer-library-python-circuitpython-buttons-sensors

Adafruit Learning System

Python Debouncer Library for Buttons and Sensors

Debounce All the Things!

#

This way you can start things when the button/switch changes, vs constantly

obsidian pelican Apr 3, 2024, 4:17 AM

#

ok

#

sorry, I'm very very new in python

hollow plaza Apr 3, 2024, 4:17 AM

#

I don't use audio, so not sure what happens if you keep calling play

#

Oh don't apologize, were all learning

obsidian pelican Apr 3, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

Hm..no, didn't work, light now is not going on...

#

moment

#

Yah, something messing up with sound. Let me comment out the sound plays, and see if i can get everything else working

hollow plaza Apr 3, 2024, 4:25 AM

#

I often just use print statements. Easy to see what changes when all I need to look at is the terminal

#

After that's working, start adding lights, etc

obsidian pelican Apr 3, 2024, 4:26 AM

#

Yah, true

hollow plaza Apr 3, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

End of my day. Will check in tomorrow and see if I can help anymore
