Controller develops touchscreen applications

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 17, 2008

Boards mount on the back of the display unit to allow users to develop bespoke applications quickly and easily with a minimum of effort and cost.

Micro-Robotics has a new starter kit that combines a 5.7in touchscreen display with its VM-1 controller.

The new kit consists of a Hitachi 5.7in QVGA (320 x 240) monochrome display, a model that sets the standard for this type of unit, with an integral four-wire resistive touch screen and driver board.

The kit also includes a VM-1 controller, Venom-SC language, real-time clock kit, application boards, power supply, serial lead and full documentation including a 160-page tutorial guide.

The application boards are designed to mount on the back of the display unit to allow users to develop bespoke applications quickly and easily with a minimum of effort and cost.

The new starter kit will be launched on Stand R20 at Southern Electronics 2008.

Also on show will be a range of memory cards, application boards, Ethernet cards and industrial I/O interface cards.
