Python softcode

rk96

I am trying to figure out how to specify a state change condition in response to a global variable that be written and read. For example in Python, I would like to move to one state if SoftCode is 1 or exit if SoftCode is 2. Also I need to set SoftCode. This does not work but hopefully this example illustrates what I am trying to do.

`   sma.add_state(
    state_name="wait",
    state_timer=0,
    state_change_conditions={
        "SoftCode1": "nextState",
        "SoftCode2": "exit",
    },
    output_actions=[("SoftCode", 1)],
)`

Hi rk96,

Soft codes are not automatically attached to a listener for changes to a local variable with the same name on the PC.

To send a soft code from the PC to the state machine, you'd make a function call to PyBpod's equivalent of SendBpodSoftCode(). This would generate a SoftCodeN event on the state machine (where N is in range 1-15).

In the opposite direction, you'd set up a soft code handler, and use 'SoftCode', N in your output actions, where N is a byte in range 1-255.
