Add momentary support #29

Closed mattalexhoward closed 4 years ago

mattalexhoward commented 5 years ago

As a user, I'd like to have a quick cycle of the GPIO pins for wider applications.

Ex: A garage door opener could be operated if there were support for a momentary switch.

If you select "rising" (or falling depending on the input) then you'll detect a momentary input.

Perhaps a better request would be to have events generated on rising or falling edges.

Or perhaps you're looking for an output pulse?

There is a pulse adapter which can be used to generate pulses of arbitrary width.

You'll want to combine the GPIO adapter with the pulse adapter.

For more details, see the discussion here.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the help. It may be more UX friendly to add the pulse option to the GPIO adapter as a check box or something. I'm not sure what the scope of this add-on is so please close this issue if this request does not fit well.

Thanks!

Fixed by #42.
