Greetings!
A project is being designed for use on the battleship New Jersey museum ship. We'd like to make an existing (but defunct) targeting radar station in CIC appear to be active. Here is a rough outline:
We plan to fit an LCD screen in where the current CRT. Then have the Pi generate a radar-type display with rotating vector-line and some 'return' - about 12 RPM I think. Then we'd like to put some enemy targets on the display - just a red dot or two. Then a visitor can press buttons and operate the joystick to move a cursor (small diameter circle) over the target and mark it for missile attack.
I've done a lot of programming (30 years!) and am fairly comfortable in the Arduino world - but this will be my first foray into the Pi world. I'm looking for advice on setting up a development environment. I'd like to use MS Visual Studio on a Win7 PC for the primary coding (as I do with Arduino and Visual Micro) - then move the completed work to the Pi - again similar to the Arduino workflow.
I'm looking at VisuaGDB to add to Visual Studio, and using OpenFrameworks libraries for the video. Our graphics demands are fairly low - just the rotating radar line and it's 'return' and a couple circles.
SO - is such dev system possible? OR - do I need to do all the work directly on the Pi under Linux?
