Propeller and Amulet GUI

Jamesx

Team:

The Propeller looks like a good solution for video displays, but in an effort to rapidly prototype a touchscreen GUI we are considering Amulet systems. Parallax has offered Amulet touchscreens and related hardware in the past, but it looks like now Parallax is no longer carrying it.

I was curious if a Propeller<>Amulet set-up makes good sense. Also, I wondered why Amulet gear no longer available. Is it a business reason, or a technical reason?

Thanks,

Primarily business reasons (I dont think they were selling many), but Parallax and Amulet are still on good terms with each other, Eduardo from Amulet was at the Propeller unveiling seminar in Feb.

This is not a selling pitch.
I got nothing to do with those people, simply I really like the display.

Compare the features of the Amulet graphics and touch screen. and the ezLCD-004 graphics display.

Compare the quality of the display, the·16 bit color palette and the resolution of the touch screen.

Compare also the pricing.

I've seen the ezLCD units mentioned on this board before and looked into the specs. It looks like it would be a nice monitor for a small project. My reservation is with the programming of the display. If the Amulet can actually be programmed with a high level language like html, seems like it might be easier to get somthing up and running.
