Hi folks,
I'm looking to build a web GUI to interface to a slow cooker I'm building
Any recommendations as to what software to build the GUI in?
A place to start.
Thanks zoomkat,I should have mentioned that I have done those tutorials though!
There's also one for two temperatures gauges.
An excellent resource but I don't think it covers the GUI build, which is what I'm looking to do, I want to build by own gauges, buttons etc
I'd take a closer look at HTML forms. They should provide the buttons you need. If you understood how the JavaScript in the tutorials worked, it should be (relatively) simple to build an interface for your project. Tutorial 16 in the above link is the ultimate example of this.
To make things pretty with gauges and the like, use JavaScript. The below links are a good place to start. I suggest getting a basic knowledge of the language before looking at these links too much.
Processing.js (GitHub - processing-js/processing-js: A port of the Processing visualization language to JavaScript.) - A port of Arduino's older sibling. Not as feature rich as the full version, but just as easy. I suggest using the second option on the linked page, or diving off the deep end and going for the last option and using pure JavaScript. It will suit your needs more.
p5.js (http://p5js.org/) P5js is a new project and not as developed as Arduino, but it provides a good tool for beginners like us. The least likely to work of the two choices
Or if your crazy, pure JavaScript. It'll take a significantly longer time, and researching is pretty difficult.
Good luck!
