CleO is a touch-enabled display shield from FTDI Chip. With this intelligent, simple-to-program, full color TFT display board, engineers of all experience can develop imaginative and compelling human machine interfaces (HMIs) while taking advantage of extensive tutorials with over 80 different programming topics and 20 example projects. Featuring FTDI Chip’s highly advanced graphics controller and microcontroller technologies, CleO provides the Arduino market with a display solution that possesses exceptional capabilities.
CleO, available from Mouser Electronics, features an HVGA 320 × 480 pixel resolution, 3.5-inch TFT display with resistive touchscreen that enables smooth animation of anti-aliased graphics or video playback at rates of up to 60fps. An FTDI Chip FT810 embedded video engine (EVE) IC powers the HMI operation, while a low-power, 3.1 DMIPs/MHz FT903 Super-Bridge microcontroller offers access to an Arduino Uno over SPI and a central hub for fast interface accessories, such as a camera.
CleO incorporates 8 MBytes of eFlash memory for embedded data storage of display or audio objects, with a Micro-SD card socket for external storage up to 32 GBytes. Connectivity options include an SPI interface to the main system’s processing resource, a parallel camera interface, FT903 input/output (I/O) expansion, and USB DFU port for firmware updates. The shield’s PWM audio output and built-in speaker amplifier facilitate incorporation of sounds into the HMI implementation.
