switch callback on press & release

[smhodge]

Is it possible to have a callback on a switch release as well as the initial press? If so, how do you configure it?

You can by using ExtInt: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/l ... xtInt.html

The switch module is built internal using the ExtInt module,

I have an example that uses ExtInt for decoding a rotary encoder on rising and falling edges: https://github.com/dhylands/upy-example ... /rotary.py

You could also modify the mpconfigboard.h file. For the PYBV11, for example, this is what determines which edges cause the switch callback to be invoked:
https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... oard.h#L78

You would use GPIO_MODE_IT_RISING_FALLING to have the callback called on both edges.
Note that you'll want to have some debounce circuitry or logic since you may get multple presses/releases per button press otherwise.

Thanks. Another gem in the documentation I missed. Usually I use MAX681x switch debouncers. Pricey little hummers but they are worth it in my book. Steve

Another approach is to use asynchronous programming with uasyncio. This repo contains various resources including a tutorial on uasyncio. It also offers classes for debounced Switch and Pushbutton objects. The former supports open and close callbacks, the latter extends it to include long press and double-click callbacks.
