How to make a button that send msg once on click and sends msg repeated at set interval on button hold?

At the moment I have two basic buttons. One sends 'G DOWN 0' on click, the other sends 'G UP 0" on click, to a tcp request. This works well, however I need a fast tune ability to hold button and send repeatedly for a scroll effect until button is released, then msg send is stopped. Have googled, but not finding what I am looking for to adapt etc. Any advice from the experts please?

Thankyou

There are a few examples around the forum. Here is one such example: Adding `output` function to buttons designed in `template` node - #54 by Steve-Mcl

Thankyou Steve, I adapted that for a frequency tuner for radio, and working well.
Is it possible to make the interval rate reduce the longer the button is held ?

I assume you mean is it possible to speed up the messages the longer the button is held?
Yes, of course, anything is possible.

You can tweak the template to your liking. The part of the code that is controlling repeat in this update is this...

        var repeatButtons = $(BUTTON_CLASS + "[data-buttontype='repeater']") 
        repeatButtons.on('mousedown',function(e) {
            var btn = $(this);
            if(this.running) return; //already in operation
            var topic = btn.data("topic");//get the topic from attribute data-topic="xxxxx"
            var payload = btn.data("payload");//get the payload from attribute data-payload="xxxxx"
            var interval = btn.data("interval");//get the desired repeat duration
            if(isNumeric(interval) == false || interval < 1) interval = 300;//prevent zero & non numeric timeout value
            const queueSend = (msg, delay, iteration) => {
                if(!this.running) { return }
                $scope.send(msg)
                if(iteration == 5) { delay = delay/2 }//half the delay (speed up after 5 pulses)
                setTimeout(() => {
                    msg.iteration = iteration;
                    if(this.running) {
                        queueSend(msg, delay, iteration+1)
                    }
                },delay) 
            }
            this.running = true;
            queueSend({"topic":topic,"payload":payload},interval,1 )
        }).on('mouseup blur focusout',function(e) {
            this.running = false;
        });

If you want it to go faster after 10 messages, then you could change this

    if(iteration == 5) { delay = delay/2 }//half the delay (speed up after 5 pulses)

to this...

    if(iteration == 5) { delay = delay/2 }//half the delay (speed up after 5 pulses)
    else if(iteration == 10) { delay = delay/2 }//half it again after 10 pulses!

I tried below, but did not see a noticiable increase in speed, and also the scroll continued after mouse release.

What did you try? Did you change the function code in your existing template? did you import the new demo flow (and keep your old flow)?

I did change the appropriate section, I think what is happening is that the target rigctld tcp server cannot keep up.

I will look at that.

Thankyou
