# pxt-calliope-buttons

This is a fork of

Micro:bit buttons

with changes to work with Calliope Mini and its pins P1, P2 (Edge Connectors) and C16, C17 (right Grove port)

## Using this extension

* go to https://makecode.calliope.cc

* create a new program or open existing

* go to **Advanced**, **Extensions** and search for [https://github.com/MKleinSB/pxt-calliope-buttons]

## Capacitive buttons (touch)

### Click events (and others)

The button emits ``down``, ``up``, ``click``, ``long lick``

and ``hold`` events.

```blocks

input.touchP1.onEvent(TouchButtonEvent.Click, function () {

    led.plot(2, 1)

})

```

### Polling state

Use ``isTouched`` or ``value`` to query the state of the sensor.

```blocks

basic.forever(function () {

    if (input.touchP1.isTouched()) {

        led.plot(0, 0)

    } else {

        led.unplot(0, 0)

    }

})

```
