We offer LCD controller boards, display modules, and enclosed units. Development kits get you up and running quickly.

Reach modules use off-the-shelf microcontrollers, both 16/32 bit CISC and 266 MHz ARM. The well-defined serial API makes the controller’s processor is transparent to the user. As technology advances, Reach can adopt new processors with little impact to the user.

Reach display modules can be used with any operating system.

Power requirements vary by panel. The 4.3″ unit can easily be battery powered. Compare modules by Technical Specifications for more detail.

No, instead we recommend using a standard bit-mapped image development and manipulation tool such as Adobe® Illustrator®, Adobe Photoshop®, or a free program called GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) to create images for your interface. Then use our Screen Layout Utilities program (a plug-in for GIMP) for image placement. See how to do this in our video tutorials.
