Micro-Robotics embedded system starter kit launched

Micro-Robotics, the Cambridge based manufacturer of off-the-shelf embedded control systems, is introducing a starter kit with touchscreen display.

The 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 4-wire resistive touch screen and driver board.

There is also 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.
