Starter kit
Micro-Robotics has introduced a starter kit, with full-colour touch-screen display, for use with its VM2 embedded controller.
The kit consists of a Hitachi 5.7in QVGA (320 x 240) colour TFT display, a model that sets the standard for this type of unit, with an integral four-wire resistive touch screen.
Also included is a VM2 controller, Venom2 language, an application board and power supply.
The application board is 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 VM2 is smaller than its predecessor, measuring 52 x 48mm, costs 15 per cent less, is considerably more powerful, 15 times faster and has very low power consumption, bringing advantages to designers of modern control systems.
