Hi I was looking for some advice on creating a GUI for an arduino sketch. Basically I have some hardware which uses the arduino to control it and this is being used for an exhibition. Currently the program works using the arduino program serial command window but I would like to create a simple gui as an .exe file or equivalent that anybody could install and operate on a computer. The output currently only needs to be very simple - the arduino sketch requires the letter 'a' to do one thing and the letter 'b' to do another. Which languages/approaches would you recommend for this? Ideally a button to send each command would be good. I've considered QT, python or JAVA but I really don't know what would be best for such a simple task. All help would be appreciated!
A lot of people use Processing (processing.org) to build GUIs simply and platform-independent. It's kind of a Java dialect and with Arduino experience you will probably find yourself comfortable with it very fast.
Thanks Pylon, processing looks ideal although I have never come across it before. I'll give it a go and see how I find it!
