<![CDATA[Jog Pushbuttons Like Bind in Tkinter]]>I'm to create robot jog pushbuttons that once a PB is pressed will start a function (jog X+) and once the PB is released, will cause a stopjog function. I've tried using .pressed and .released (ref below) but those calls do not work. Any ideas on how to bind the function like in tkinter?

    # Check for Coords Jog pushbuttons
    if self.pushButton_Xplus.pressed:self.move_jog(text="X+")
    if self.pushButton_Xplus.released: self.move_stop

The jog & jog stop functions have worked w/tkinter so I'm ruling out the functions as any issue. Ideas?

There was a tkinter remanent left over in the move_stop module. Once removed, Now my jog PB's work as expected!

:)

Don't make assumptions. Put in debug messages.

Placed print() statements in both move_jog & move_stop and sure enough move_stop was not getting called. There was a tkinter remanent left over in the move_stop module. Once removed, Now my jog PB's work as expected! Thanks again! Onto the next issue...

As @jsulm asks, have you checked by connecting a print() statement lambda to the signal to verify whether it ever gets called?

but the .released function doesn't work as expected

You mean self.move_stop is never called?

self.pushButton_J1plus.pressed.connect(lambda event:self.move_jog(text="J1+"))
self.pushButton_J1plus.released.connect(self.move_stop)

Seems the .pressed works ok, but the .released function doesn't work as expected, and doesn't get called. The jog & jog stop functions have worked w/tkinter so I'm ruling out the functions as any issue. Ideas?

QPushButton.pressed/released are signals, needing to be connect()ed. In the code you show you are using them as though they were variables.

I've done that on other PB's where only clicked is required. Here I want to run func: move_jog() when the PB is held down continuously and then run stop_jog() when that same PB is released after being pushed. The two lines of code above don't work, i.e. the .pressed does not start the move_jog() func.

There is an example how to connect a function to a signal:

import sys
from PySide2.QtWidgets import QApplication, QPushButton

def func():
 print("func has been called!")

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
button = QPushButton("Call func")
button.clicked.connect(func)
button.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
