[idea] sketch config gui

Post by jy0933 »

[purely idea] i can read code... but barely got idea how to make gui

I probably have seen similar gui/program for other thing.

here's the basic idea

currently we need to open sketch and manually look for the corresponding sensor/code. uncomment to activate.... this is more like the geek's way.. there are people talking about having no idea how to config it..(cuz of this. is somehow complex for them... dont blame them tho)

thus...

how about make a gui ... the sensor/functions will be listed.. and put a check box in front to activate.. a comment on the back illustrating what this function is for...

the code is following some kind of flow... the main code will not be affected by this... the sensor/function codes work as modules that inserts to a certain place ( use a database like model.... the position of the code can be assigned once it is in)

this also might be able to integrate all the branches.. since most of the branches are based on the master branch. and either add or slightly modded... for the add-on's...can just make it as a module and assign a position where it should be inserted....

after user chose the wanted function/sensors/etcs... output the code in the uploadable form ... or even better.. upload to board directly from gui....


MWC is awesome... but since it is somehow "hard to config" for many people ( simple is always good tho).... this gui might bring more ppl into mw world

PEace

thanks

Ooh i am an opticien so if its difficult to look at, i have spectacles for sale :mrgreen: ;) , or do you have other suggestions...
