Context: I'm developing a little weather station with a 5110 Lcd display.
Process: while developing I write my code in a main.py file which I send to my board (Esp32 devkitc-v4), then I open the serial prompt with picocom, press the reset button on the board and read my logs for debugging.
I was happy with my program with everything working and I wanted to try it in "standalone" mode. Just powering the board without displaying logs. But something strange occurred: I could say the program crashed as the data on the LCD wasn't updating. I tried to isolate the problem by logging directly on the lcd and found out that the line touchpad.read() was guilty. The program is almost as follow (can't use the [code] tag
):#main.py
from machine import Pin, TouchPad
import utime
touch1 = TouchPad(Pin(0))
touch2 = TouchPad(Pin(2))
led = Pin(32, Pin.OUT, value=0)
led.off()
touchPads = [touch1, touch2]
def handler1():
print("Hi1")
led.on()
def handler2():
print("Hi2")
led.off()
handlers = [handler1, handler2]
TRESHOLD = 150
def checkTouchPads():
for index, touchpad in enumerate(touchPads):
if touchpad.read() < TRESHOLD:
handlers[index]()
while True:
checkTouchPads()
utime.sleep(0.25)
So this is working when I have picocom activated but not in standalone. Any idea why ?
