A new technology brings optimised backlighting to full travel keyboards.
Building on the widely used nonproprietary CAN protocol, Advanced Input has created and proven both physical and software elements.
This enables rapid prototyping of customer-specific interfaces as part of a user input subsystem communicating to the host system using the high integrity CAN bus.
With proven integration of a wide range of control and monitoring device technologies from keyboards, through trackballs to touchscreens, the hierarchical approach of Advanced Thruput ensures both fast development, and efficient custom solutions that are optimised for each application.
The open CAN standard simplifies the integration of complex systems, as it provides a common interface definition for both software and firmware designers, while Advanced Input provides a complete design and manufacturing service for all mechanical and electronic aspects of user input subsystems to further reduce overall system development cost and reduce time to market.
In addition to its own European offices, Advanced Input provides responsive local support at all stages of a project through a network of agents.
