Portsdown 4 and user defined buttons.

Post by Robert » Tue Apr 12, 2022 2:11 pm

Hello,

I'm new to Portsdown. In any case, it's a great job that has been done there. :o
Being curious, I browsed the directory /home/pi/rpidatv/scripts and saw there how to create a custom chart. I also saw that there is possibility to define user buttons. I would like to know how to activate such a button. Writing a script is not a problem for me. I searched the forum a little but couldn't find an answer.

Anyone have any info on this?

Hi Robert

On Portsdown 4, the User-defined buttons (that trigger the scripts /home/pi/rpidatv/scripts/user_button1.sh and so on) can be accessed from Menu 2, Test Equipment. They are Buttons 1 to 5 on the bottom row.

Sorry, not the most logical place, but I was running out of Menus!
