Controlling terminal commands with a GUI

[mpaterson]

We're using the bright pi https://www.pi-supply.com/product/brigh ... pberry-pi/ to provide lighting controlled from our Raspberry pi B+. It's up and running but a pain to use having to enter the full LXterminal commands every time you want to do anything.

Is there anyway of assigning keystrokes to execute these commands or even better get them linked to a GUI using Python somehow?

https://www.pi-supply.com/bright-pi-v1-0-code-examples/ gives a bunch of commands you can use in a shell script. It's trivial to convert those to a python program.

We've succesfully used the commands in the LXterminal , how would we convert them to a python program?

Search for RPi.GPIO or pigpio or WiringPi there are about a million hits for those three combined.

rpi.gpio does not support i2c (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO)
pigpio does: http://abyz.co.uk/rpi/pigpio/python.html

This bash script I wrote creates a GUI menu for GCC. It can easily be modified to perform other functions.
