Resistive touch screens are incredibly popular as overlays of TFT and LCD displays. If you want to connect one to a computer you need something to handle the analogue-to-digital conversion. Most converters we've found are not very easy to use and are 'fixed' - making them difficult to calibrate. The AR1100 is a nice chip that solves this problem by acting as a touch-\u0026gt;USB converter and also comes with calibration software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The calibration software is Windows only, but once you've calibrated you can use the screen on any OS. The AR1100 shows up as a regular Mouse or Digitizer HID device so no drivers are required. We've tested it successfully on Mac, Windows, and Debian Linux (Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi). Other Linux distributions may or may not work, but if you're running Linux you're probably used to that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis breakout board features the AR1100, which has both USB and UART interfaces available. 99% of the time, you'll want to use the USB interface but there is some functionality for getting TTL UART data out (see the datasheet for details) There is also a red LED that lights up to indicate when a touch has been detected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the screens that have 1mm pitch FPC cables, you can plug the cable right into the connector. The majority of medium\/large touchscreens have that kind of connector. If you have another kind of touch screen, the four X\/Y contacts are available on 0.1\" pitch breakouts so you can hand-solder or wire them. We set this breakout up for 4-wire sensing only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can pretty much just plug and play to get started, for more details including calibration software, check out the AR1100 page. Plug any 1mm-pitch 4-wire resistive touchscreen into the on-board FPC connector, when you plug into a computer's USB port you should see a new device and touching the screen will cause the mouse cursor to move around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 20.2mm x 28.2mm x 5.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini-B USB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44930765062233,"sku":"bwx1789672300419","price":8.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/5289\/5833\/files\/resistive-touch-screen-to-usb-mouse-controller---ar1100_1.jpg?v=1789672329","url":"https:\/\/gymflexfit.shop\/products\/resistive-touch-screen-to-usb-mouse-controller-ar1100","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
