Chime configuration

[Josh Evans]

I'm working on switching my old security system into PrivateEyePi and something that I'd like to do to keep it as unchanged to my wife as possible is to get the Chime to double beep when a door opens. I've got the chime working, I just can't figure out a way to get two quick beeps to happen instead of one beep. 

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a function called SoundChime in the alarmfunctionsr.py file. Replace it with the modified code below.

To edit the file type:

cd /home

sudo nano alarmfunctionsr.py

To save type CTRL-X Y ENTER

def SoundChime():

        if globals.ChimeDuration>0:

                GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

                GPIO.setup(globals.ChimeGPIOPin, GPIO.OUT) #Siren pin setup

                GPIO.output(globals.ChimeGPIOPin,True) #Chime on

                time.sleep(globals.ChimeDuration)

                GPIO.output(globals.ChimeGPIOPin,False) #Chime off

                time.sleep(1) #1 second

                GPIO.output(globals.ChimeGPIOPin,True) #Chime on

                time.sleep(globals.ChimeDuration)

                GPIO.output(globals.ChimeGPIOPin,False) #Chime off

thanks, I had been playing with the chime function, just wasn't getting the correct configuration for what I wanted.
