SCript won't stop

[emme]

type the Domoticstestring.py file

dump/show the content of the py file to us please is that he asked for

if you just want to run this once you remove the

while True:

shift all under it 1 tab to the left and you are done :

i.e.

# Create NeoPixel object with appropriate configuration.
strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(LED_COUNT, LED_PIN, LED_FREQ_HZ, LED_DMA, LED_INVERT, LED_BRIGHTNESS, LED_CHANNEL, LED_STRIP)
# Intialize the library (must be called once before other functions).
strip.begin()

print ('Press Ctrl-C to quit.')

print ('Color wipe animations.')
colorWipe(strip, Color(255, 0, 0)) # Red wipe
colorWipe(strip, Color(0, 255, 0)) # Blue wipe
colorWipe(strip, Color(0, 0, 255)) # Green wipe
#print ('Theater chase animations.')
#theaterChase(strip, Color(127, 127, 127)) # White theater chase
#theaterChase(strip, Color(127, 0, 0)) # Red theater chase
#theaterChase(strip, Color( 0, 0, 127)) # Blue theater chase
print ('Rainbow animations.')
rainbow(strip)
#rainbowCycle(strip)

Well thx for thinking but i don't want to run it once.
I want that the script runs when i push the button on and when i push the button off then the script stopts.
Running is no problem but stopping the script.

Killing a process is not a very elegant way to stop a script. Why not create a temp file before you enter the while true loop and within the loop build in a check if this file stil exist. If not --> exit the loop and script.
The stop command than simply have to trigger a script that removes the temp file created by the first script.

explains in quite a lot of detail howto check for the existence of a file

I'm sorry @waaren but i did read that link but still i don't know how to make it work in my code.
Can you help me please?
How do i make a temperyfile that contains my code?

Change script that starts the python to

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/AllowDomoticstestring
sudo PYTHONPATH=".:build/lib.linux-armv7l-2.7" python /home/pi/rpi_ws281x/python/examples/Domoticstestring.py

Change Domoticstestring.py to:

Code: Select all

# NeoPixel library strandtest example
# Author: Tony DiCola ([email protected])
#
# Direct port of the Arduino NeoPixel library strandtest example.  Showcases
# various animations on a strip of NeoPixels.

Now if you want to stop Domoticstestring.py, you delete /tmp/AllowDomoticstestring
this can be done by a script or manually
