High-quality industrial displays with integrated smart technologies are a specialty of the German business Display Visions, formerly known as Electronic Assembly. These displays are often very user-friendly and have an emphasis on simple application.
If you are not yet familiar with the EA uniTFT series of smart displays and the EA uniTFTs series of smaller displays, you can find more detailed information in SOS electronic´s previous articles. However, basic version of these displays already has the connectivity solved through USB and serial interface. At the same time, the manufacturer considers the requirements of the present time and offers us the possibility to extend the current modules with other types of connectivity and thus facilitate and speed up the development of the latest projects.
New Display Visions products for even faster development
1. DEMOPACK with Wi-Fi/LAN to create a Wi-Fi HMI
The basic set of the development kit from Display Visions, EA DEMOPACK, contains a 2.8″ IPS uniTFTs module plus a selected additional module – with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth or LAN, but also with a humidity, temperature or CO2 sensor and the like. Additional modules are also available as boards themselves and auxiliary items. In the corresponding datasheet, they are marked on the first page as “Spare parts”. In the case of Wi-Fi/BT and LAN modules, these are the EA 94998-WIFIBT and EA 94998-LAN application PCBs.
The mentioned two additional modules are suitable for the entire series of uniTFTs displays, i.e. for sizes 2”; 2.8”; 3.5″ to 4.3″. If we take into account that by using them, we can literally skip one step in development (PCB design, production, installation), then the overall benefit of this investment is certainly not only interesting, but also worth trying as a quick presentation of the first visualization of the project. SOS electronic have therefore included EA DEMOPACK-WIFIBT and EA DEMOPACK-LAN in our product offer and they are now available directly from our warehouse.
2. IPS TFT Display Shield 0,96” for Raspberry Pico
Apart from the additional modules with Wi-Fi/LAN connectivity, another interesting novelty from Display Visions is the small, only 0.96” IPS TFT display EA TFT009-81AINN. The display itself is accessible for use with the Raspberry Pico without the need for a separate DPS, but it is particularly convenient when used as a “display shield” for the aforementioned R-Pico tiny computer.
Currently, there are two versions available, EA RaPicoTFT009 and EA RaPicoTFT009TC, i.e. the version with and also without capacitive touch panel. Both modules have well-documented code in language C with text, image, and touchpad support.
From Display Visions’ range of uniTFT series of smart displays and accessories, SOS electronic have selected the products with the greatest potential that are now available for your projects directly from our warehouse. SOS electronic will be happy to provide additional versions of additional modules as well as other products from their range upon order in a short lead time and under favorable conditions.
