  • Introducing the gen4-uLCD43-HS series - a high-resolution, versatile, and feature-rich intelligent display module from the gen4 product line. With a 4.3" TFT LCD screen delivering 800x480 pixel resolution, this new display outperforms its size class and offers resistive or capacitive touch panel options. The 4D Labs Diablo16 Graphics Processor powers the display, supporting extensive customisation possibilities. A 30-pin socket ensures easy connectivity, while compatibility with the Workshop4 IDE facilitates convenient programming and display adjustment. The gen4 series underscores space efficiency, allowing application boards to sit directly on the back of the module for smooth integration. Enhanced resolution, built-in audio generation, and 16 customisable GPIO are among the key features.

  • The concept of "Creating Intuitive Interfaces for Embedded Systems" highlights the importance of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) in embedded systems, allowing users to effectively interact with the device and access its features. The quality of UI design often determines user engagement - good design goes unnoticed, while poor design can result in product abandonment. The design process for effective UI/UX in embedded systems can be challenging, necessitating adherence to certain principles and design stages. The content outlines a four-step process for successful embedded UI design.
