Hello,

Now here’s my first confusion. What should I get with: x=LPTTrigPin14(), print x? It prints the object reference and not the return values, which I think is part of my problems. How do I get the actual return value that I could put to a variable for later use?

When calling "LPTTrigPin14()", you create an instance of the class LPTTrigPin14. This is your first step. You need an instance of a class to be able to call its methods (or functions). For the sake of completeness, this is not true for static class methods, but this is not applicable in your case.


So what you need to do is something like this:
lptt_instance = LPTTrigPin14()
x = lptt_instance.during_go_eval()
print x

If you call "print lptt_instance", like you mentioned, the textual representation of the class instance is printed. This means the memory address of the class and its type.

Unfortunately, I haven't studied enough the workings of the various controllers to help you further.

Good day,
Bertrand
