Cockpit button control?

[PhilipL]

Here is esp32 based project which has
pypilot control screen (on waterproof touchscreen)

You can use it as is. Or adapt the code to use hardware buttons
attached to esp32.

Very interesting. I'll have a close look at it.

My first thoughts, though, are that I am trying to simplify everything. I had OpenPlotter with PyPilot and had huge problems in getting it to work properly, so adding a different OS doesn't seem too attractive.  After many years of using Linux but not getting to grips with it, I've been putting my head into the internals, so hopefully will be a bit more expert.

I haven't heard of ESP32 boards and have just been delving into Arduino - which has a huge amount of information out there - but will have a look.

Buttons appeal - easy and basic. I'll take a look at your code and see how you have implemented things - very useful.

I am off sailing for a few weeks, so this winter is when I'll get down to the project.

Thanks,

Philip
