Global Functions

Functions

beep([times=1[, duration[, frequency]]])	Beep
sleep(s)	Pauses for s seconds (floating point) and allows other tasks to run.
msleep(ms)	Pauses for ms milliseconds and allows other tasks to run.
led_on()	Turns the LED on
led_off()	Turns the LED off
led_blink([times=1[, delay_on=50[, delay_off=50]]])	Blinks the LED

Functions

beep([times=1[, duration[, frequency]]])

Beep

Parameters:

• times int number of times to beep (default 1)
• duration int beep duration (ms) (optional)
• frequency int beep frequency (Hz) (optional)

sleep(s)

Pauses for s seconds (floating point) and allows other tasks to run.

This will block other tasks/events from this script, but will allow other scripts, ML tasks or Canon tasks.

Timer resolution: 10ms.

Parameters:

• s float number of seconds to sleep.

msleep(ms)

Pauses for ms milliseconds and allows other tasks to run.

Consider using sleep for large delays, e.g. sleep(2) instead of msleep(2000) for readability (there's no functional difference between the two).

Parameters:

• ms int number of milliseconds to sleep.

led_on()

Turns the LED on

led_off()

Turns the LED off

led_blink([times=1[, delay_on=50[, delay_off=50]]])

Blinks the LED

Parameters:

• times int Number of times to blink. (default 1)
• delay_on int How long the LED is on (in ms) (default 50)
• delay_off int How long the LED is off (in ms) (default 50)
