Setting Digital input to freedrive through java

You can from a daemon or thread monitor an input, and given this input toggles to a defined state, you can send a program to the controller that instructs the robot to stay in freedrive mode, such as:

def start_freedrive():
   freedrive_mode()
   while(True):
      sync()
   end
end

Since freedrive would be terminated, as soon as the program would stop, you cannot just send a single line, in which case the robot would only be in freedrive for a few milliseconds.
When the button is released, you need to terminate this program, e.g. by sending halt or end_freedrive_mode()
