Colour touchscreen application kit for embedded systems
16 November 2005
DSP, Micros & Memory
Rabbit Semiconductor has introduced the Colour Touchscreen Application Kit, giving integrators the ability to add a colour touch screen to their embedded systems. With numerous customisable features, the touchscreen enhances Rabbit-based systems by providing an intuitive user interface, modern display controls and increased functionality. The graphical user interface can be customised using standard desktop tools.
The application kit includes a Reach Technology SLCD controller board, a 5,7" TFT Hitachi colour display, Dynamic C development software and a RCM3720 Ethernet RabbitCore. The kit also includes a NEMA 4 enclosure that allows for rugged, waterproof installation, as well as a power supply. The unit supports either RS232 or RS485 communications.
Reach Technology's SLCD controller allows an LCD graphic display to be accessed as an intelligent serial device. User-defined bitmaps via standard desktop tools provide a modern looking interface and include tabbed document interface pages and many different types of controls, such as radio buttons and check boxes. The touch interface enables buttons to be defined on screen which return a serial string when pushed.
The RCM3720 is a Rabbit 3000-based microprocessor core module that is designed for Ethernet/Internet applications. It features 512K Flash/256K SRAM, four serial ports and a small platform footprint of 75x30 mm.
