Dear @fayad,

The GeomagicDriver defines several data. Among them the data “button_1” and “button_2” are boolean specifying the state (pressed = 1) of each button.

Thanks Hugo, but these are not accessible form python, right?

They should be, as any data.
Using something like:

state_button1 = your_GeomagicDriver.findData('button_1').value

Oh I see, I got a bit confused about what you meant. My bad :).

Thank you so much Hugo,

If you think that shorter is better you can also write:

state_button1 = your_GeomagicDriver.button_1

This works because the python binding search for each “MyComponent.xxxx” if there is a data with the xxxx name.

Thanks, I managed to get the button, but using “button1” instead of “button_1”.
