Touch LCD display
This compact touchscreen display offers visual interaction with the user, allowing data and graphics to be presented in an attractive way. Its circular shape makes it ideal for applications where traditional rectangular displays do not fit, such as watches and wearables.
RP2040 microcontroller
The embedded RP2040 microcontroller is the main component of the display and ensures its intelligent operation. It was designed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and is a powerful chip capable of processing a variety of tasks and instructions, enabling the creation of advanced functions and interactions on the display.
The LCD display allows for clear presentation of data.
The device supports C/C++, MicroPython and Arduino.
Programming language support
The display has been designed to work with various programming languages such as C/C++, MicroPython and Arduino . This gives developers the flexibility to choose the right language and platform for their project.
Accelerometer and gyroscope sensor
Built-in motion sensors enable the display to respond to movement and orientation . The accelerometer measures acceleration, while the gyroscope estimates angular velocity. Thanks to this, the display can adjust its operation depending on position, movement or inclination, which opens up new possibilities for interactions and functions.
