Create GUI for RPi

gihu
gihu over 9 years ago

Hi all,

 

I need to create GUI for the raspberry pi3 and I do not know where to start.

What I prefere is to use something like visual basic or visual studio.

I need advice of how to do it, I have seen that it exists Lazarus that can run natively on RPi, but it is supposed to work on Pi1.

Would you mind suggesting me which possibilities I have? Of Course, cross-compile can be an option, but I prefer no to make a complicated setup by now, so cross-compiling It would be nice if it is under Win10 (the OS running on my laptop)

 

Regards,

Miguel

    Hello Gihu,

     

    The choice of Qt (that in my opinion is a good choice, obviously), is an alternative. There are also other options almost good and well supported by the Raspberry PI like Kivi (also good for the touch 7inches LCD for the PI). But IMHO what you should for sure forget is Visual Basic and Visual Studio family.

    Hello Enrico,

     

    Thanks for your suggestions, writed down avoiding forget VB and Visual Studio.

    In the end this afternoon I installed mono as mconners suggest. Tomorrow I will 'play'a little bit with it. 

     

    Thank you very much,

    Miguel

    Hi,

     

    Other question Enrico, Qt can also work like mono, running natively in the RPi, nota cross-compiling on a host linux-machine, right?

    Hello gihu, yes, Qt is native in raspbian. But I think we should make some differentiation between the version 4 and 5. There si a large number of differences and I strongly suggest to approach Qt5 for first.

     

    This week I have zero time but at this point I think that (according with spannerspencer previous discussions) it is the worth to start a Qt section with some specific embedded LInux tips and samples.

     

    Sorry for my short answers in these days but I am following this thread and I will start supporting you asap.
