Setting a float value with push/momentary button

Hello, Everyone

Ive been working on this machine for quite some time, but got stuck a little. Im trying to use 4 push buttons to set increments 1/ 0.1 / 0.01. And a button to clear the increments. The idea is when a button is pushed, the increment is set to a specific value, when the button is released, the value should still be set​​​​​​. If i press a different button, the old value should be overwritten by the new one and set. I have no idea how to do this, because at the moment when a button is pressed the value gets set, however upon release the value disappears...

I think this is what you want:

From my archive with stuff i have ever done,mostly for testing, this modified userspace component needs only be connected to the buttons and then get the increments

Hello,
took a few days off work..
Ive tried to use this, the file is located in usr/bin/
Owner:root
Access: Read & Write
Group: root
Access: Read Only
Others: Read Only
And marked to run as a program, but when i try to start axis i get:
execv(incr_bttn.py): Permission Denied
And exits without becoming ready..
Any ideas?

Ive got the script working, there were some permission stuff going on but at the moment axis not recognizing "sudo halcompile" telling me "unknown command 'sudo' "

Sounds like your user is not in the sudoers group. If you have a root account and know it's password, log in with that or us su command and then and add the user to sudoers. Google it it's easy!

If you don't have root access, you will need to start again and DON'T add a root password.

After getting the permissions right and running it through terminal, the file was compiled successfully and the pins were created. Ive got the buttons linked to the script and it works flawlessly.
Thank you everyone
