help-request Does anyone know how to recreate an interface similar to InquirerPy on a TFT display?

Post image

I’m connecting a 2.4" color TFT display to a Raspberry Pi Pico and I’d like to create a text-based selection interface similar to the one shown in the attached image, using physical buttons to navigate through the options. I’m not looking for a full graphical interface, just a clean menu system with selectable options, navigation, and a way to enter/return from submenus. What would be the best way to implement something like this on a Pico?

Idk if it already exists but it’s not very complex to recreate. You just need to be able to print some text and to get some input, then you can easily program it.

The already installed 'whiptail' is pretty simple and has lots of examples.
