Graphical user interface

[M4ST3R]

Hey together,

in the german community some people think about a graphical based development software. We want to write it in Java. Maybe some of you want to join the programmer team if we really start the project.

Would be nice to hear your opinions and thoughts about that.

Personally I think it's a lot of work, and I would rather see that effort go into developing new bricks or bricklets. I realize these require different skills, but still... If anyone could figure out how to connect an RFID reader to a brick, I would actually pay for that.

Thats why the community wants to create that tool and not the guys from tinkerforge. They should focus on the bricks and bricklets like you said

Great idea guys, something with function blocks would be good for quickly creating projects. Unfortunately I'm not able to write java, but would love to see a development platform like this. I think it would open the Tinkerforge products to more people who aren't comfortable with coding. As with most products, the more people who own them, the better the development

Is someone interested in supporting this project? In the german board there are only M4ST3R and one more who are willing and able to realize this. But they need at least two supporters more.

I think it would be sad if the project dies before it starts.

 

In the german board there was the discussion if it could be a better way to realize this project with scratch:

Any comments to this?
