Touch Screen

Post by JohnCrow »

Hi
Just been looking at the new Matrix brochure. The new touchscreen e-block looks great.
Any news on when it will be available ? Even the data sheet would be interesting as a pre taster?
New brochure is impressive too, very well produced

Hi John,
I do echo what your saying.
Did you see the demo posted by Mika here:
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... 634#p30921
Impressive or what!
I am 100% positive I will buy the larger screen version
Can't wait! :D
Using TFT touch screen is going to be my next project!

Hi Martin

Ive been playing with a 2.3" touch screen but it works with I2C and is quite fiddly to use, the new macros in FC5 will make it easy to use.

Think we had better get our orders in now before the rush :lol:

Hello,

Got one sat on my desk and it's indeed very nice. Not 100% sure of price but looks like it is going to retail at around £90 at the moment. We are currently awaiting stock I think at the moment and then we should be good to go. Hopefully no more then a couple of weeks to get these released properly.
