Parrot Tester

Parrot Tester is a visualization tool to help you analyze your parrot integration with Talon, showing live data for frames, history, activity, and stats, using your existing parrot_integration.py and patterns.json files.

Installation

Dependencies

• Talon Beta
• Parrot - Trained parrot model with parrot_integration.py and patterns.json files
• talon-ui-elements (v0.16.0+)

Install

Clone the dependencies and this repo into your Talon user directory:

# mac and linux
cd ~/.talon/user

# windows
cd ~/AppData/Roaming/talon/user

# Dependencies
git clone https://github.com/rokubop/talon-ui-elements

# This repo
git clone https://github.com/rokubop/talon-parrot-tester

Done! You can now use the Parrot Tester tool. 🎉

Say "parrot tester" to toggle the UI and start testing!

How it works

A spy is attached to your existing parrot_integration.py file upon UI launch, and restored when the UI is closed.

No destructive edits are done to your parrot_integration.py or patterns.json.

If you somehow get into an error state, a Talon restart will restore everything to normal.

Grace thresholds not working

If grace thresholds are not working as expected, you may want to try changing these lines in your parrot_integration.py. This bug was discovered as I was testing this tool.

Before:

throttles = {}
if 'throttle' in pattern:
    if name not in pattern['throttle']:
        pattern['throttle'][name] = 0
    throttles = pattern['throttle']

After:

throttles = {}
if 'throttle' in pattern:
    # if name not in pattern['throttle']:
    #     pattern['throttle'][name] = 0
    throttles = pattern['throttle']

Grace thresholds should now work as expected, but you may need to manually add "throttle" to every pattern now.
