An add-on touch screen interface
« on: June 29, 2007, 04:11:42 pm »
Saw this while looking at electronic kits:

Looks interesting. Would be cool to add to a cabinet to enable selecting a game category, and things like that. But I'm not sure if it even interfaces with a PC or not, and how to get a front end to work with something like that.
NO MORE!!

It will interface with whatever you need.  Has momentary or toggled open collector switches.   Just connect to your interface of choice and it will provide the keypresses.  It is sort of just a touchscreen keyboard with 8 programmable keys. Too bad it does not use an active screen behind so you could program what the keys look like instead of having to print an overlay.
