I'm Getting somewhere. I changed the Logging.basic config to have a filename of /home/pi/mqtt/debug_log.txt and took out the asctime and levelname formatting bits. I added the Logging. debug lines in a couple of the functions. It worked in that the file is in that location, and one of the debug messages has printed. Have to look at the others now. Anyway, progress!
Still have to figure out how to add the ultrasonic functions and get them to work. I will probably add a do-nothing function to the program for testing first. P. On 29/01/2021 10:36, PeterMerchant wrote:
