  • Hi everyone, just wondering if it is possible use Construct 3 to control/work with a Raspberry Pi Pico?

    Specifically, I would want my Construct App to tell the Pico when to light up an LED, based on the programming in Construct 3.

    I'm considering using Construct 3 to handle code and imagery for a physical pinball machine. I know I could program the logic for the game in Construct, I know I can control LED's using the Pico, just wondering if I can get Construct to communicate with the Pico.

    Any suggestions or thoughts welcome, have a lovely weekend!

  • Looks like you could control it with JavaScript using something like:

    kalumajs.org

    You could probably do most of the work in event sheets though.

    Construct 3 can send POST requests using the built-in Ajax plugin. And through them, send a command. I think you know how to process these POST requests if you chose Raspberry Pi.

    If you just need to turn on an LED or switch on a relay, I think even ESP32 or Arduino would suffice.

    If you don't know how, artificial intelligence will help you; it is quite knowledgeable about these gadgets.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Hi everyone, thanks for your responses so far, I will look into them, please keep them coming.

    I will clarify that I have very little Pi/Pico programming knowledge when compared to my Construct 3 knowledge, which is also mainly comprised of using the non-coding interface, so do assume that I have no idea where to start in your responses :D

  • I've gotten most of my Raspberry Pi knowledge through ChatGPT or Gemini, to the point over the past year that I don't need to use them anymore, and I now know how to do most things from scratch. I'm just giving some advice (it's not rude, I hate how you can't hear tone through forums), but you might not get much more help through this forum. Trying somewhere else with real people Stack Overflow, sometimes Reddit, or using AI (My preferred because people can be rude) may get you the help you need faster (:
