Right now I have it programmed to click a button on the GUI which turns an output on or off. This all works fine when using the GUI. What I want to do though is also be able to touch a 'touchpad' to perform the same function as the GUI button. The touchpad works fine if i simply tell it to print to the screen, but I cannot make it duplicate the button press.
In other programs I have used the performclick() function 'btn1.performclick()' but I cant seem to do this with Python.
Any suggestions for a wannabe programmer?? Code below
My apologies, but the code will not work without the phidget attached
