Im required to use a timer to read values from an Arduino - so its constantly firing numbers, most of the time the same numbers. eg: 1…1…1…2…2…2…
Some heavier components downstream are recalculating each cycle! Is there a way to check when the number changes, and only then update the rest of the components? Ive tried using global and sticky variables in python with no luck.
I figured out an overly complicated solution, Ive attached a minimal version for those interested. It sends a variable through a global variable between python components, and uses Metahopper’s expire component to trigger it when it detects a new number.
