Button module update

I got the update and verified the files were replaced as described, but I’m still not seeing any except button_release events.
…or is that the fix…?

Please show your code and your setup.

sorry - should have known better…
Everything except the button_pressed works.

            camera.PictureCaptured += new Camera.PictureCapturedEventHandler(camera_PictureCaptured);
            while(!camera.CameraReady)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(500);
                Debug.Print("camera isn't ready");
            }
            Debug.Print("Program Started");
        }

        void camera_PictureCaptured(Camera sender, GT.Picture picture)
        {
            display.SimpleGraphics.DisplayImage(picture, 5, 5);
        }

        void button_ButtonPressed(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
            button.ToggleLED();
            camera.TakePicture();
        }

        void button_ButtonReleased(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
            if (camera.CameraReady)
            {
                button.ToggleLED();
                camera.TakePicture();
            }
        }
    }
}

Test button alone itself. see code below please

        {
            /******************************************************************************************

            e.g.  button
                  camera1

            Initialize event handlers here.
            e.g. button.ButtonPressed += new GTM.MSR.Button.ButtonEventHandler(button_ButtonPressed);             
            ***************************************************************************************** */

            // Do one-time tasks here
            button.ButtonPressed += new Button.ButtonEventHandler(button_ButtonPressed);
            button.ButtonReleased += new Button.ButtonEventHandler(button_ButtonReleased);
           
            Debug.Print("Program Started");
        }

        void button_ButtonPressed(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
            Debug.Print("Press");
        }

        void button_ButtonReleased(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
              Debug.Print("Release");
        }
    }
}

Hello,

Every time you take a picture, the module delay a short time, it also means the value of “camera.CameraReady” is always false, that why you can not see any toggle led.

Can you please help me to rewrite your code a little bit in your side:


void button_ButtonPressed(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
            if (camera.CameraReady)
            {
                button.ToggleLED();
                camera.TakePicture();
                
            }
        }

void button_ButtonReleased(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
                button.ToggleLED();
        }

OK - now my code looks like this:


using System;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Controls;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Media;

using GT = Gadgeteer;
using GTM = Gadgeteer.Modules;
using Gadgeteer.Modules.GHIElectronics;

namespace GadgeteerApp1
{
    public partial class Program
    {
        void ProgramStarted()
        {
            /******************************************************************************************
            Access modules defined in the designer by typing their name:                            
            
            e.g.  button
                  camera1

            Initialize event handlers here.
            e.g. button.ButtonPressed += new GTM.MSR.Button.ButtonEventHandler(button_ButtonPressed);             
            ***************************************************************************************** */

            // Do one-time tasks here
            button.ButtonPressed += new Button.ButtonEventHandler(button_ButtonPressed);
            button.ButtonReleased += new Button.ButtonEventHandler(button_ButtonReleased);
            Debug.Print("Program Started");
        }

        void button_ButtonPressed(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
            button.ToggleLED();
            Debug.Print("Pressed");
        }

        void button_ButtonReleased(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
            button.ToggleLED();
            Debug.Print("Released");
        }
    }
}

…but I’m still only getting released events:

The thread ‘’ (0x2) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Using mainboard GHIElectronics-FEZSpider version 1.0
Program Started
Released
Released
Released
Released
The program ‘[7] Micro Framework application: Managed’ has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Go to properties of the button dll and check what version it is

Same as described in the readme.
I know it’s gotta be something blazingly simple that I’m overlooking…

One last thing to try, make a totally new project. with button and very simple code, let us know!

And make sure you are using the correct file. That file is usually located on:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GHI Electronics\GHI .NET Gadgeteer SDK\Modules\Button\NETMF 4.1
or C:\Program Files\GHI Electronics\GHI .NET Gadgeteer SDK\Modules\Button\NETMF 4.1
Can you please try to remove the old reference and add this new file by manual?

Buildiong a new project did the trick.
I guess the prior project had cached the old dlls…?

Thx!

Yes projects make thier own local copy of dlls.
