Apollo Display Technologies developed the Firestorm GUI as a serial controller for TFT and STN/CSTN displays. The Firestorm GUI is an intelligent human-machine-interface (HMI), which provides visual feedback and user input functions via a connected display and/or touchscreen.
Features of our Firestorm GUI are:
- On-board image compression with frame buffers used for full screen animations, slide shows, fast menus in control applications, etc.
- Optional programmable GPIO lines to control external devices and/or activate functions
- Supports TFTs up to SVGA resolution (800x600) and STN/CSTN displays
- Fast system initialization; board boots within 1 second
- Integrated touch controller (4-wire resistive)
- Wide temperature range of -22°F to 176°F
- Optional USB/Ethernet/CAN Bus
- Fast response time of controller
- Integrated LED backlight driver
- Low power consumption
- Motion sensor function
