Having seen strong market uptake of the initial CleO smart display solution for rapid development of human machine interfaces (HMIs), Bridgetek and FTDI are now expanding this product family to include a higher end version. Based on Embedded Video Engine (EVE) technology, the new CleO50 shield has a larger 5,0” diagonal 800 x 480 pixel resolution TFT with built-in resistive touch screen, plus enhanced audio capabilities.
To take care of processing tasks, as well as bridging between connected hardware and fast interface accessories (such as the camera module option), the board incorporates an FT900 low-power, 32-bit microcontroller with 8 MB of onboard Flash memory. For this latest display solution, the graphics controller element has also been upgraded to an FT812 EVE IC, in order to support the larger, higher-resolution screen and furthermore so that the CleO50 can benefit from 24-bit colour depth and video playback capabilities.
Another new feature is the mikroBUS interface, via which the shield can connect to a vast array of different plug-and-play ‘click’ boards from MikroElektronika and thereby add extra functionality as required (such as heart rate monitors, rotary switches, communication modules, real-time clocks, accelerometers, GPS transceivers, etc.), without the inconvenience of having to alter the hardware settings. The shield’s Micro SD card slot can accommodate both standard SD (up to 2 GB) and high capacity SD (4 GB to 32 GB) memory cards. A PWM audio output with in-built speaker amplifier ensures elevated audio quality.
