Interactive "control panel" for display
Ok so my wife and I were talking about plans for a future display and one of the ideas I had that we were both excited about is potentially having a low stim setup on some nights. She works for a children's hospital, and kids with special needs are close to her heart. I was hoping to build some sort of controller, a table more or less, that is set up with large buttons, sliders, etc. that a kid could use to change brightness and colors (slow fades) kind of like a giant toy.
I've been learning a lot about the programmed displays over the past couple of years and have a pretty good idea about what I'll need for that display, but I don't know where to start with this idea and haven't found anything searching either. Is that something I could potentially do with the falcon F16 board that I'll use for my normal display? Or will I need to have a dedicated setup specifically for this? I was hoping it would be easy enough to disconnect the raspberry pi to switch to this controller, and then swap back for the normal display nights
I know dmx controllers already exist and could probably work, but they all look like they'd be difficult for a child that doesn't have great dexterity in their hands. Maybe there's a way to create my own, or modify one to work?
