self.machine.sequences.*

class mpf.devices.logic_blocks.Sequence(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: mpf.devices.logic_blocks.LogicBlock

A type of LogicBlock which tracks many different events (steps) towards a goal.

The steps have to happen in order.

Accessing sequences in code

The device collection which contains the sequences in your machine is available via self.machine.sequences. For example, to access one called “foo”, you would use self.machine.sequences.foo. You can also access sequences in dictionary form, e.g. self.machine.sequences['foo'].

You can also get devices by tag or hardware number. See the DeviceCollection documentation for details.
