While recently building a system that can regulate the pressure in a home brew setup I found that using a Nano which could handle the task left me in a situation where I needed a PC/Tablet connected if I wanted to record information.
Then I spotted the 2.8" TFT with SD card for $13AU and my prayers were answered.
Or so I thought.
While the very excellent Adafruit library offers all the low level graphics I required, I found it tedious and difficult to do the simplest things, like centre my text on the screen. I needed a simple way to create my user interface.
So was born the idea of PixiGui.
I spent most of the last decade learning C# and WPF, which sadly included forgetting a lot of my C++ skills. But having become familiar with a dynamic hierarchal GUI I decided to use that for inspiration to create a GUI for the Arduino environment.

Not much point in saying anymore 'till I have code to share.
Should have enough for proof of concept within the week.
