Water or Steam - no problem!
Our new IP65 rated rotary encoder display is a marvel of durability designed for the demanding usability expectations of home appliances. Thanks to its innovative design its not afraid of water, making it perfect for kitchen appliances such as hobs, washing machines, blenders, air fryers and faucets, as well as shower control panels and fitness equipment. In fact anywhere where exposure to water and frequent cleaning are inevitable.
We have a range of options to suit any scenario, whether you have already selected a Host CPU or need some help in selecting one. we can help design a product perfect for your application.
How are you driving your display?
What we can offer
DISPLAY ONLY
For use if you have a powerful enough host CPU to perform GUI rendering tasks and communicate through the SPI.
SMART DISPLAY
Allows you to offload GUI rendering tasks to it's dedicated SW and communicate with your host CPU through simpler UART pre-defined commands.
DRAGONEYE
For rapid develeopment, the expansion board features high-performance STM32 MCU, MIPI-DSI/RGB interface and many connectivity options to interface with your host co-processor or sensors.
DRAGONEYE MCU Development Kit
Powered by the STM32 ARM Cortex M4 core, DRAGONEYE is a pre-developed hardware/software combination designed to bring HMIs to life effortlessly.
- Pre-developed display drivers.
- Allows idea validation with a rapid proof of concept
- Enables development of software for a final prototype
- Can be re-purposed for mass production
- Saves 6 months time and cost in hardware development, driver integration and debugging
Rapid evaluation made simple
If you simply want to evaluate the display and functionality of our range of rotary encoders, we offer an evaluation kit including MCU with UART interface.
The module will be provided with reference tools to enable you to upload images quickly and easily to get started on your proof of concept before development of the final MCU/MPU and software.
