Is it possible to use GPIO pins to control for example buttons or sliders? (maybe even with a mux?) 4x10 buttons
I want to make a mini controller for my drive in DB that has a touch screen, based on RPI4, 10 sliders, with 2 buttons: Step (or pauze) and Go with speed by pressing the button few times so it learns the speed of the chaser.
I also want 10 sliders to dim/shutter speed.
I want to integrate all this in a small portalbe box.
I have 4 wash moving heads, 4 moving heads with gobos/prizma/colorwheels, 4 LED PAR65 RGB, 2 RGB ledbars, 2 strobo's, 1 laser 1000MK. And some smaller led based fixtures
For simplicity i want to make a controller with a 13" touch screen (for programming etc)
The buttons and sliders would be to control programs for those fixtures.
Buttons could be preset colors or gobos and movements
sliders could be color change chaser, dim chaser, fixture dimmer, fixture strobe speed, etc.

What would I need to do this? Any examples to control programmed items with GPIO hardware connections? Any documentation on this?
