PanelPilot Development Kit for SGD 43-A

Includes:SGD 43-A (not Panel Pilot ACE);Development Kit, but no PSU;USB A to Mini USB;Mounting Kit.SGD 43-A DK+ is a development kit for the SGD 43-A display. The development board itself provides switches, dials, LEDs and screw terminal connections to quickly connect to and test all of the input / output functionality of the PanelPilotACE display.The development kit, SGD 43-A-DK+, is the best choice if you are starting to develop on the PanelPilotACE platform. It includes all you need to begin: an SGD 43-A, a development board and a USB cable. The board provides switches, dials, LEDs and screw terminal connections for all the input and output functionality of the SGD 43-A.The design software provides a number of building blocks which allow users to drag-and-drop elements onto the screen to quickly create advanced user interfaces. From background images to text elements, analogue style meters, touch-screen navigation elements through to maths and logic functions, data logging and serial communications, users can build up multi-screen interfaces without needing to write a line of code.There is a library of pre-defined elements such as meters, buttons and switches and users can create their own content by combining elements or importing graphics in a number of formats (including jpg, png, tif, bmp and gif). The software includes support for transparency and multiple-layers.Hardware interfacing is similarly intuitive with hardware elements being dragged into a function builder where associations with graphical elements (such as a needle on a meter) can be defined. Here users can determine scaling for analogue inputs, define alarm triggers, behaviours for digital inputs and outputs and configure PWM outputs.Previewing and Uploading ProjectsThe software includes a ‘Preview in Emulator' function which emulates the hardware inputs/outputs allowing users to test their projects prior to upload. Projects are uploaded to the SGD 43-A via USB.
