Hello,
I'm new here and I need some advices. I want to build a litte home control station in LCARS style (Star Trek) that works on the ISM band with wireless outlets. A good example for the LCARS style is this one: lcars touchscreen home control like star trek - YouTube What shall it do? The user chooses a category (Lights, Media, ...) and after that, all corresponding outlets shall be displayed. The user now selects a specific outlet and can then choose either to switch it on or to switch it off.
The outlets work on 433.92 MHz and I already decoded the protocol. A transmitter could be this here: Error, Electronic & Electronics Components Depot United States
But I do not know which touchscreen would be the best for this purpose. It must not be smaller than 3" and it must be able to load images from a sd card because I already designed the menu (see attachments). This is what I found:
1.) SmartGPU ( Arduino Playground - SmartGPU )
too small, but SD feature. Also very expensive.
2.) Emartee 5" ( 5" TFT 800*480 With SD Touch Module - emartee.com )
very big, SD feature, expensive
3.) Emartee 3.2" ( 7" TFT 800*480 With SD Touch Module - emartee.com )
big enough but no SD feature, not as expensive as the others
Do you know better touchscreens?
Can I connect the 433 MHZ module if there is a touchscreen connected to the Arduino?
Thanks in advance!
