Hi All,
I’m thinking about a way to dissociate the Vidéo+Touch+Audio part of the Chipworkx to a more important length such as 5 meters… :think:
Looking for several options, the main goal for me would be to :
-
Use a 7’’ size touchscreen instead of the given 4.3’', such as the one in GHI catalog http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/206 but more with a 800x600 resolution model,
-
Use a PICAP touch system instead of the resistive one,
see that : http://www.densitron.com/content.aspx?ID=2498 -
Maybe use an LVDS Serializer/Deserializer to achieve the length problem.
see that : DS90C185 data sheet, product information and support | TI.com DS90C185
All of this seems to be possible on paper, but as I’m not sure of what Chipworkx can do or not, can you tell me if this is compliant with the actual firmware (mainly for the touch I guess), or if I’m currently thinking of mad things…
I also saw some interesting things on this post on FEZ Cobra, but they are dated…:

Any feedback would be interesting before I go fast in some tests… :wall:
