AHF_Trigger

AHF_Trigger.AHF_Trigger module

class AHF_Trigger.AHF_Trigger(taskP, settingsDictP)

Sends/receives signals as to another pi to start/stop recording

class AHF_Trigger_UDP.AHF_Trigger_UDP(taskP, settingsDictP)

Sends/receives UDP signals as to another pi to start/stop recording from some device

AHF_UDPTrig uses the socket module to do the UDP stuff, but it should be part of the default install

static about(): Returns a brief message describing your sub-class, used when asking user to pick a sub-class of this class

static config_user_get(starterDict={}): static method that querries user for settings, with default responses from starterDict, and returns starterDict with settings as edited by the user.

doTrigger(message): Sends a UDP message to the stored list of ip addresses

getTrigger(): Waits for a UDP message and returns a string containing the message

hardwareTest(): Tests functionality, gives user a chance to change settings. :Returns: bool – True if any settings have changed

setdown(): oppposite of setup. Releases any hardware resouces. can be run before editing settings so GPIO pins can be reused, for example. This strategy should be used in hardwareTest method.

setup()

Makes a new AHF_UDPtrig object using passed in list of ip addresses.

stores UDPlist in the new object sets hasUDP to false if object creation fails because of network error, else True
