Randomish question here. I wrote a fairly basic program for an ESP32 using arduino that handles button presses for a little quiz thing. First person to hit the buzzer, it lights up and stores whoever hit first on the opposing team if the first person gets the question wrong stuff like that.
Currently I serve up the data from the ESP32 to an HMI (ignition) and let that program do all the heavy lifting of keeping score, grabbing questions from a sqlite database, etc. It's really good, but ignition maker's edition is only for person use and if I want to let my friends use it there's a lot they'd have to do to get it set up.
The nice thing about Ignition though, is it is a graphic ide that lets me design my screens like I was using photo editing software and assign event scripts to object on the screen (i.e. you press the button, it does all this code).
Is there something similar I could use on the Raspberry Pi that would let me use the built in GPIO to handle interrupts and talk to a shift register to handle lighting up the LED and let me build it in a graphical environment? I thought about going down the .net route, but it's cross-platform promises are a bit iffy from what I read. Tkinter looks promising, but I'd have to do all my window design in my head and my visualization isn't all that great, lol.
Any thoughts on things you've used and liked?
