multiple button press to get one output

[NerdsCorp]

I might be missing it or this might be a future thing, but is it possible to Hold one button down and then click another for the outcome to trigger?

I tried this below but I don't think its built in to the rest of the code. But it would be cool if this was added!

• action: BB_ACTION_SPEED_DOWN event: BB_EVENT_DPAD_DOWN event: BB_EVENT_BTN_START min: 0 max: 1

this would make it so you could free up main buttons and have "config/tuning" in a different layer thus creating more advanced Projects using this.

I think i might have an idea of how to do this. What if each binding had an optional key called conditionals or something, which can either be an event or a list of events. The binding's action is only executed if all of the conditional events resolve as true. I think each event would be resolved by the same logic as boolean-input actions (like BB_ACTION_SPEED_DOWN), where it is true if the event value is greater than the halfway point between min and max. Because the main event and conditional events might have different ranges, I'll also add a conditional_min (default=0) and conditional_max (default=1).

For example, if you wanted to have speed control stuff gated behind the start button (like in your post) you could do something like this:

- action: BB_ACTION_SPEED_DOWN
  event: BB_EVENT_DPAD_DOWN
  conditionals: BB_EVENT_BTN_START
  min: 0
  max: 1

Another example, if you instead wanted to check that both analog sticks are pushed upwards (ie: Y axis > 0), you could do

- action: BB_ACTION_SPEED_DOWN
  event: BB_EVENT_DPAD_DOWN
  conditionals: [BB_EVENT_ANALOG_LY, BB_EVENT_ANALOG_RY]
  min: 0
  max: 1
  conditional_min: 0
  conditional_max: 511

At least I think this would work? What do you think?

[NerdsCorp]

I think that would make the code Clean and it would make it work. Using the conditionals would also allow for the feedback system that is in the #todo.md.

hi, i've added this feature, and a little bit of documentation. try it out and let me know if it works!

[NerdsCorp]

So i did some testing, I tried it a few different ways i thought it would work but nothing. I only changed one, the very last on my config.yml. The way i understand it this config should have two states on and off, its assigned to x but you have to hold the brake, am i right? Im just using an led on that output pin to test.

Also my questions are from reading the Documents are... Do you have to have conditional min and max for them to work or is it alway 1 or 0, its not very clear... and what are possible limitations with conditionals.

Side note, maybe in the future could we clean up the debug codes, its a little hard to follow.

Heres the output of my serial.

Never mind its not an issue, when i moved it from the brake to a different button it worked great. ( may put this in the Notes)= conditionals cannot be a analog option on the controller.

also I have verified "sticky Keys" does not work, and we should add a easy Is sticky in the config.yml like below. I think if its needed it can be turned on otherwise it off to eliminate Nooby Confusion.

action: BB_ACTION_GPIO event: BB_EVENT_BTN_A min: 0 max: 1 is_sticky: true or false pin: 17

thanks for trying it out!

• conditional_min is 0 by default and conditional_max is 1 by default. they're designed for digital buttons by default. good point about it not being documented, i'll add a note in the docs.
• you can use an analog input as a conditional, but you have to set conditional_min and conditional_max to match the range of the input since 0 and 1 usually aren't appropriate for analog inputs. again i get that this isn't clear in the docs so i'll add this too
• one limit with conditionals is that you can't mix and match digital and analog conditional inputs, since conditional_{min, max} applies to all conditionals. note you can have a digital event and analog conditionals or vice versa, since event and conditionals have separate min and max settings
• since conditionals are basically boolean at the end of the day, if you want to use the brake trigger as a conditional you can just use BB_EVENT_BTN_L2. with BB_EVENT_ANALOG_BRAKE you have to set conditonal_{min, max} since it's an analog input, but with BB_EVENT_BTN_L2 you can use the default range since it's digital
• i'm not really sure what you mean by "sticky keys", are you talking about the "latch" feature? that was actually completely accidental, i didn't actually mean for that feature to exist but i kept it in incase someone finds it useful. to get it to work you have to let go of the conditional inputs before you let go of the main event input. it's a bit hacky, but i'm thinking of adding a "toggle switch" feature one day which toggles an action on or off based on input. but that's a future idea

• regarding the funky debug logs, the �[36m stuff is ANSI colour codes. so on terminals which support it parts of the output will render in colour. i do most of my development of bbrx in visual studio code, which looks like this:

  

  I tried it on arduino ide v2 and it looks like it doesn't support colour codes :(

  

  there's not really an ideal way to copy and paste the text without ansi codes from arduino ide, but you can disable ansi codes entirely by commenting out ANSI_ENABLE in log.h

I hope this clears it up!

yes this explanation helps a lot! thanks!
