TouchShield Slide

Since I got a bunch of emails about it, I’ll be offering an option to have Thom’s Pyxis system pre-loaded on the Slide .

With the first option, I’ll take an extra step to program the Pyxis OS and get it up and running on the Slide, so that it will work right out of the box.

With the second option, I’ll get Pyxis OS up and running on the Slide, and I’ll also include a free 2 GB USB stick with the high level Pyxis studio compiler that includes free updates for 12 months.

Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions! – Justin

After talking with several TouchShield Stealth users, I decided to build a bigger and more powerful option, for the folks who want that extra capacity. The TouchShield Slide is a widescreen option that makes full use of the space on the Arduino, maximizing screen space. With 340×240 resolution and a resistive touchscreen, the Slide offers clear, precise viewing and tactile sensing – that all fits squarely on the Arduino. As for programming, the Slide runs a core similar to the Stealth, so it’ll be just as easy to get up and running!
