When using this function, use built-in constants such as
display.KEY_RIGHT
(rather than the
numeric value of
103
). This will allow for better forward compatibility with firmware revisions.
The OUTPUT ON/OFF controls for SMU A or SMU B cannot be tracked by this function.
Example
key = display.getlastkey()
print(key)
On the front panel, press the
MENU
key and
then send the code shown here. This retrieves
the key code for the last pressed key.
Output:
6.01
