Light Touch

Light Touch devices allow you to exchange coloured lights with friends and family across the internet. When you choose and send a colour, it pulses on the partner device then fades away slowly, so you can use them in realtime or leave traces for them to find later. Each Light Touch has two LED lights: a “send” light that you control from your device, and a “receive” light that your partner controls, as well as a touch sensor or button for selecting and sending colours. To select a colour, press down on the sensor, wait while the send light cycles through colours, and release when you find a colour you like. Then simply tap on the button to send your choice. The receive light on the partner device will light up instantly as a visible indication of your attention. That’s all there is to it!

Cycle LED color when using external button?

I’ve attached a simple momentary switch between GND and D23. This button works to trigger a touch, but keeping the button held does not cycle through colors the same way that the capacitive wire did. Is there a fix for this?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hello ,

The external button is designed to not be triggered consistently, and works on every press of the button. This is to reduce double firing the button accidentally.

If you would like to add this custom functionality, you will need to adapt the firmware here

You could update the button press functionality for the external button in the utility file
