CrowVision 7-inch display

It’s already day 6 of CNX Software’s Giveaway Week 2024, and the prize is the Elecrow 7-inch CrowVision touchscreen display designed for Raspberry Pi boards and other single board computers (SBC). Elecrow sent us a sample of the touchscreen display last year to review β€œwhenever we have time”. But it turns out that finding time is tricky, so instead of getting it to waste, I decided to give it away to one lucky reader of CNX Software. Elecrow CrowVision 7-inch display specifications: Type – 7-inch IPS display Resolution – 1024Γ—600 Multitouch – 5-point capacitive touchscreen Viewing angle – 178Β° Video Input – Mini HDMI connector USB – Micro USB port for touchscreen function Audio 3.5mm audio jack for headphones Speaker connector User input – Touchscreen and keypad interface for provided 5-key board Power Supply 12V/2A DC input via power barrel jack 5V DC output via USB Type-A port Dimensions – [...]

Renesas RX260 and RX261 64 MHz RXv3 MCUs target power-efficient touch applications

24 October 2024 at 19:55
Renesas RX260 RX261 RXv3 microcontrollers

The Renesas RX260 and RX261 two new 64 MHz microcontrollers part of the high-performance, high-efficiency RX product family with integrated capacitive touch-sensing and high power efficiency in both active and standby modes. The microcontrollers are based on the RXv3 core with a performance score of 355 CoreMark @ 64MHz, which is β€œ2.5 times higher than competing 64 MHz class MCUs.” The chips are also power-efficient, with a consumption rate of 69ΞΌA/MHz during active operation and 1ΞΌA only in standby mode. According to Renesas, the chips are up to 25% more efficient in active mode and 87% more efficient in standby mode than other 64 MHz class MCUs. Another competing factor is the onboard 8KB of data flash, eliminating the need for external EEPROM. The RX260 and RX261 Group MCUs support noise- and water-resistant capacitive touch via Renesas’ third-generation capacitive touch IP (CTSU2SL). They also integrate an β€œautomatic judgment function” that [...]
