Keyboard()

get_initialization_commands

self.get_initialization_commands()

This function gets called exactly once per add-on. To re-initialize, set self.initialized = False.

Returns: A list of commands that will initialize this add-on.

on_send

self.on_send(resp)

This is called within Controller.communicate(commands) after commands are sent to the build and a response is received.

Use this function to send commands to the build on the next Controller.communicate(commands) call, given the resp response. Any commands in the self.commands list will be sent on the next Controller.communicate(commands) call.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
resp	List[bytes]		The response from the build.

before_send

self.before_send(commands)

This is called within Controller.communicate(commands) before sending commands to the build. By default, this function doesn't do anything.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
commands	List[dict]		The commands that are about to be sent to the build.

get_early_initialization_commands

self.get_early_initialization_commands()

This function gets called exactly once per add-on. To re-initialize, set self.initialized = False.

These commands are added to the list being sent on communicate() before any other commands, including those added by the user and by other add-ons.

Usually, you shouldn't override this function. It is useful for a small number of add-ons, such as loading screens, which should initialize before anything else.

Returns: A list of commands that will initialize this add-on.

listen

self.listen(key, commands)

self.listen(key, commands, function=None, events=None)

Listen for when a key is pressed and send commands.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
key	str		The keyboard key.
commands	Union[dict, List[dict]		Commands to be sent when the key is pressed.
function	Callable	None	Function to invoke when the key is pressed.
events	List[str]	None	Listen to these keyboard events for this key. Options: "press", "hold", "release". If None, this defaults to ["press"].
