on Event

Run some code when a button (A, B, or both A + B) is clicked, double clicked, or has some other action.

input.buttonA.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Click, () => {

})

Touch

If your board has pins or pads that work as touch inputs, then your code can use them just like buttons. Instead of saying button A or button B as the input source, use a pin name like pin A1.

input.pinA1.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Down, function() {
    console.log("Press down")
})

Read about touch sensors and using the pins as touch buttons.
