help with script. - Raspberry Pi Forums

hi all,
using script take data currentcost envir monitor , upload iy xively.

works without error not way want.

keeps running continuously uploading every few seconds, want run once can set con job , set interval way.

not sure sets looping.

interval used in kwh calculation can't see interval set, running once muck calculation up?

def run():   print "starting currentcost.py"     while 1:     sensor, watts, temp = read_currentcost()       send_to_cosm(sensor, watts, temp)  

remove line "while 1:" , adjust indent of next 2 lines this...

code: select all

def run():   print "starting currentcost.py"     sensor, watts, temp = read_currentcost()     send_to_cosm(sensor, watts, temp)   

calculation seems have hard coded "6" interval in kwh function call parameters.

ps: go , read python tutorial !
