Hey,
I'm quite new to python and Django so i'm uncertain if Django will be a good fit to what i need.
I wish to develop a web interface to display sensor information, control outputs and run background tasks.
I have considered running a python cronjob that links to a SQL database then have Django link to the same database.
I could input settings into the database via Django that the background script would then read.
I could maybe use AJAX to perform page updates.
Mainly looking for opinions or better options before i get started as i'm not too keen on heading down the wrong path if a better one is available.
Thanks.
