BridgeTek puts colour touch screen on Arduino

Sunflower Shield adds a touch-enabled 3.5in QVGA TFT LCD to Arduino projects, and demonstrates Bridgetek’s FT813 video controller – which uses the firm’s innovative ‘EVE’ video controller which does away with the need for video ram. Designed by Cowfish Studios, it will render 24bit colour content in either landscape or portrait orientations, plus support smooth 60frame/s animations as ...

GMSL camera operates up to 15m from host for remote robotics

Long distance cameras in the NileCam series operate up to 15m from the host processor while still supporting low latency and high frame rates, says e-con Systems. The cameras use GMSL technology, a serdes technique, to carry high speed video, bidirectional control data and power over a single coaxial cable. The cameras can be used where long ...
