Get application state via Python?

[matdave]

I have a little screen for my Pi, that I'd like to display the current state of Pi Pedal on. Would it be possible to retrieve or interact with the current state of the pipedald service over python?

I would also be interested in this. I would like to toggle LEDs based on the enabled state of preset toggles, which would require a way to configure it in the interface. The reason is that I have foot switches and want to put LEDs next to them, so if a foot switch toggles an effect I'd like to show that effect state in the LED.

Maybe MIDI signals would be a good way to communicate?

I've done this, but in cpp, unfortunately the code is not in a state that can be shared, but the way to do this kind of things is very easy with pipedal.

You have to connect with a web socket to the pipedal address send an "hello" message and then parse the message pipedals send to your program.

I interfaced a 1.8" (AzDelivery) spi display to show the current preset and scene and it was very easy.
