Hi !
I'm looking for a way to write an interactive menu on a lcd screen connected to an arduino. Something like this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak5TsUFhyf8
As I didn't see any component for menu items, is luma a good library to start with ? My python skills are limited.

All that the luma library does really is twofold:

  • provides a mechanism for displaying a PIL image - it translates that to the correct commands/data for the initialized display device
  • give you a PIL-based drawing canvas that is sized for the screen you have initialized. All the drawing and text rendering capabilities are those in ImageDraw.

So the short answer is yes (IMHO) - it is a good place to start, but in actual fact, you would be doing most of the graphics drawing using PIL methods.
