at this link is a cool touch screen thingy, it says that it needs a really good microcontroller, i was wondering if the prop could handle it, i didnt get much info, but the wiki has links to things to make computers and stuff out of it, all i want to know is if its compatable with the prop

    Well, in some ways I am sure the Propeller could work with this screen, but the results would be less than you would like. The Propeller lacks enough HUB RAM to handle images at that size resolution and that color depth. You could possible do a reduce color depth, but it might be a waste. In order to really use the screeen you would have to generate the image/video memory some where else and then just clock it in. There have been various discussions about dual port memories or other similar devices.
