Includes:
- SGD 70-A (not Panel Pilot ACE);
- Development Kit and supplied with PSU;
- USB A to Mini USB;
- Mounting Kit.
The SGD 70-A DK+ is the development kit for the 7" PanelPilotACE compatible display, SGD 70-A. The development board itself allows users to quickly connect to and test all of the input and output functionality of the PanelPilotACE display.
The kit includes a development board, an SGD 70-A PanelPilotACE display, a USB cable and a power supply. The development board includes LEDs and switches for digital I/O’s, four potentiometers to generate analogue inputs, variable brightness LEDs for PWM outputs and a prototyping area for testing circuitry.
The design software provides a number of building blocks which allow users to drag-and-drop elements onto the screen to quickly create advanced user interfaces. From background images to text elements, analogue style meters, touch-screen navigation elements through to maths and logic functions, data logging and serial communications, users can build up multi-screen interfaces without needing to write a line of code. There is a library of pre-defined elements such as meters, buttons and switches, and users can create their own content by combining elements or importing graphics in a number of formats (including jpg, png, tif, bmp and gif). The software includes support for transparency and multiple-layers. Hardware interfacing is similarly intuitive, with hardware elements being dragged into a function builder where associations with graphical elements (such as a needle on a meter) can be defined. Here users can determine scaling for analogue inputs, define alarm triggers, behaviours for digital inputs and outputs and configure PWM outputs.
Previewing and Uploading Projects
The software includes a 'Preview in Emulator' function which emulates the hardware inputs / outputs allowing users to test their projects prior to upload.
