The ArtistaGUI is an embedded Human Machine Interface (HMI) Controller for upgrading simple controlling systems with a TFT Display. The result is an intelligent TFT module, which can be addressed via micro controller. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is programmed with a WYSIWYG Interface-Designer and the scripting language QT-Quick 1.1 (2.4. in preparation). For communication protocol, the robust and approved Modbus-RTU is employed.

ArtistaGUI features:

• NEW: now supports projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens from DMC and Zytronic
• Supports TFTs up to XGA 1024x768
• 18/24-Bit LVDS and TTL interface
• 8 GPIOs active for communication with external devices, optional any required quantity of GPIOs can be integrated
• integrated LED backlight driver
• on board 4-wire resistive touch controller, PCAP via integrated USB interface
• 12V single supply
• Temperature range: 32°F - 122°F (extended temperature range by request)
• RS-232 interface (RS-485 on request)
• SD-Card interface for user software
• no compiler needed, easy programming in QT-Quick
