Developers / Re: 2nd display as Touchscreen

« on: August 14, 2011, 02:05:37 am »

  The main problem is that android has far and few tabletop -and- wall docks....

To buy a apple product is way far off budget..

the DT webpad looks promising

I could go for a cheap android tablet 7-10 inch
 -or-
run a dell axim with wince app.. witch i had a soo so operating axim 50v witch had wifi and a tabletop cradle and seemed to run ok for a interface..

On the most part...

#1 - getting a new house might put hybrid as a main interface with a 19" touch screen on wall in the
kitchen or attached area for main access.

#2 - pda -or- android tablet's for roaming orbiters per room or level..

#3 - rf/bt mini keyboard/touch mouse / gyration remote's as main control per media area's 

the one thing is I use Firefox alot in my room and living room but it sounds like the orbitor keyboard/mouse input might get trashed "shame"

I think I might try out the mini2440 aproach.  With those I can use 7+ inch screens and or custom build mounts housings
for wall tabletops or embeded into furniture or other objects.

I was looking also at mini2440 as a simular   but I do not know if it is working as of yet.

it would be easier.

  As far as the webdt they look like they work nice  but afraid of availabilty later down
the road.  And the mobile orbitors like possibly PDA's is another solution -but-  as i found
with the axim 50v  work sweet and also mines itself into couches and chairs well too  lol

If any tried something simular throw me youre ideas.

FYI

If we end up buying and renovating this house in march its going to be 90% lmce systems.
as well as if it goes well ill have to do a demo video ect

lets say

(2) x vga lcd wall mounted pulling video threw a 1x2 vga splitter "possibly vga via cat5/6"

  Then usb via cat5/6 for the touch screen interface/inputs since i know i can have more than
one human interface device.


  Knowing that what ever was shown on one screen whould also be on the other would not be
a issue.  These would be for main control area's/whole house + ability from core to control all..

  And positioned like alarm keypads would per house level..

« on: February 23, 2011, 02:39:05 pm »

The main question is....

    Can one use the clone the the video out put from the core say to touch screens in a home
( one main level and one upper level ) and use it in a general home zone

for controling home lighting regular home audio ect  as well as if needed control the md's
in other rooms?

the thing is it may have multiple 2 to 3 touch screens
