Ask Slashdot: Hobbyist-Ready LCD Touch Panel For Embedded Projects?
michael_cain writes "I've been asked (by family, friends) to consider several small embedded controller projects. A good starting point for all of them would be a backlit LCD graphics module with touch screen pre-mounted in a plastic enclosure with enough room behind the display for a custom circuit board. 320-by-240 pixels, 3.5 to 4.5 inch diagonal measure, monochrome is sufficient (but color is always cool), easily driven by an AVR or PIC type microcontroller. And priced at a reasonable point for a hobbyist! Anyone seen anything like this?"
What the fuck is it with people suggesting "get a Tablet" to almost every single question that comes up these days?
"My car has trouble starting in the mornings..."
"Get a tablet!"
"My pool filter seems not to be doing it's job very well lately..."
"Dude, tablet!!"
"What's the best product to get stains out of concrete?"
"TABLET!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tablets are great for some applications, but not every application that involves tech in any way, shape, or form.
I feel like perhaps you would be a less angry person if you had an iPad. Have you considered getting an iPad? Also, decaf. Decaf is good.
he gives them to me for almost everything I've got.
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
