Soft buttons (on web page) - Saqqara - 2017-02-10
This is one we've discussed on other forums, but I figured I'd repeat it here.
The ability to trigger actions by buttons begs for a web page that can be accessed by a smartphone or browser anywhere on board or around the world.
I see this recipe I may tinker with if I get time:
http://mattrichardson.com/Raspberry-Pi-Flask/
and there is an iOS app or two that can control GPIO. It looks easy to implement. Of course a proprietary solution doesn't befit openplotter.

Greg,
With node-red and node-red dashboard it is very easy to make your own webpage on the openplotter machine including soft buttons.
This is open source software.

Wow... that's excellent. I was thinking of it as output only and I hadn't had a chance to dig into it.
So yesterday I installed it on my office PC and found a pretense to use it for a work related dashboard. Very cool.
Yes, this is the way forward, for so many things!

This is a flow I use to shutdown, it closes opencpn hopefully saving any routes/tracks first then shuts down the Pi..
Hope this might be of use:
