aceav8or Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Is there a straight forward way to use a LCD-TFT display to enter user commands, or more simply just display data on a serial enabled lcd and use a external D-pad, or does everything need to be done on the computer side? Here are the components I'm curious about: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9066? , https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 You can connect these sort of devices among many others. The trick is the interface with the computer and that has little to do with DAQFactory. You'll typically want to avoid USB as that requires custom drivers, but a serial (RS232) or Ethernet connection would be easy for DAQFactory to interface with. Its really not much different than using a bar code reader. Avoid using a device that offers a keyboard wedge. RS232 / 485 or Ethernet is the way to go. If you have to use USB or other proprietary interface, you still can likely use it, you'll just have to interface with their driver software, probably through a dll using DAQFactory's extern() command.
