My goal with this project was to create a quick operations console to interface with embedded hardware for messaging and switching. As I am part of an active project called Kivy.org I figured it would be a perfect tool to provide the user interface for the console. Kivy is a cross platform development framework based on Python and the C language. For further reading I urge you to click over to the http://kivy.org website and download a copy of the framework for your operating system and run some examples. The API is ultra easy and very feature rich including 2D & 3D support with standard widget libraries and Advanced multitouch gesturing support that all runs in the hardware GPU on Microsoft windows operating systems, Apple Mac OSx operating systems including IOS for the iPhone and iPad as well as support for Android and Linux. The example code I am providing in this blog entry can easily be built simultaneously for each of the above operating systems. See http://mctouch.wordpress.com
