Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately it appears that the imgur links are region blocked, and we are unable to view the details in them.

Would you be able to re-share the screenshots, attach them to a post, or share the details of the settings you have used and the error message?

I've already tried modifying the parameters in different ways to convert the file, but the result is always the same: conversion failed!



I reverted to version 4.0.1, which doesn't have this type of error.

Overview

Introducing our range of sensors and actuator devices supporting the popular Modbus protocol. With robust yet aesthetically pleasing enclosures and a range of mounting options, they are ideal for connecting to new and existing Modbus systems, such as Building management controllers, smart home controls, Industrial controllers, computers, and via wireless bridges (for example Modbus to LoRaWAN bridges).

With Modbus RTU, you can daisy-chain large numbers of devices over long distances using cost-effective cabling, providing both power and data. Mix and match the sensors, sensor adapters and actuators from our range on the same network, and on existing buses with other Modbus RTU devices.

Just saw that EAB 4.1.0 is finally: out https://brtchip.com/eab/

While that is impressive, that does not really solve the availability of BT82x modules.
Yes, buying panels turned out to be a pain by itself, but usually that is a problem that can be solved with throwing money at it - thinking about single units here for evaluation or to play with, thinking in production level amounts I would send a suit from procurement to get me what I want (and I wish I was there).

However, the fun starts when adapting the panel to the VM820C - and the touch.
That is why I am also thinking about designing a board for the MN820.

So I prefer integrated modules.
And based on the experience with the VM820C so far, I would go for the option with 1GBit DDR3L and even no external flash (the option to solder a SOIC-8 would still be nice), as long as there is a micro-sd socket.

Hi Rudolph, VDC,

We have a range of displays available now too from Bridgetek including a 10.1" 1920x1200 panel which you can use with the VM820C credit card module. It has a capacitive touch panel.

Here is the link to the 1920x1200 panel 10.1" display 1920x1200

We also have a 15.6" panel with capacitive touch too which you can find here: 15.6" panel with capacitive touch
 
Let us know if you have any questions on them or if you would like any further information,

Aukua MGA8410 using the EVE3x-39A-IPS-BLH-TPC, a 3.9" 1U USB Interface, New IPS 480x128 Graphic Bar TFT Display 1U, Capacitive Touch with a 1000cd/m2 Sunlight Readable backlight!

The MGA8410 3-in-1 Ethernet Test Platform is a 4 port stand-alone 1U chassis system designed for R&D, Test, and Support engineers who build and deploy Ethernet-based IT, storage networking, mobile, defense, automotive, industrial, and time-sensitive (TSN) communications systems.

So, I got myself a ACD-110DHTT which is a 10.1" industrial touch monitor that I got used for only 23€ from
EBay, 1280x800.
The panel is a G101EVN01.0 from AUO, LVDS, single channel, 6 bits per color.
The display was fairly easy to adapt to the VM820C, but I gave up on playing with the eGalax touch controller.
I bought a 10.1" touchscreen digitizer on EBay for €6.99, I selected this one for clearly having a controller chip visible on the supplied fotos, although I could not identify the specific chip.
Some other parts that are sold do not have a touch controller integrated and apart from no chip visible these have way more pins on the cable than the 6...12 you will find with a touch-panel + CTP combi.

The one I bought was advertized as replacement part for a "ICOO ICOU10G 10.1 inch" tablett and also is labeled as "ENERGY Neo" - getting of one of these tabletts might be interesting.

Anyways, the digitizer arrived and the touch chip turned out to be a FT5506 - bingo.
I used a 12pin FPC adapter to connect to CN8 on the VM820C.

Oh, btw., the 7" I was using before had a FT5316.

Unfortunately the touch digitizer does not match mechanically, it is wider in X and smaller in Y.
So I just taped to the outside of my display.

I calibrated the thing and now I have working touch.


I am thinking about designing a minimal adapter board for the MN820.

Yes, the 15.6" really is some large unit of a monitor, I have no idea why that is still the only option.
I am generally interested in buying a RVT156HKBNWCA0-B, despite the price and despite that I have no idea what to actually do with it.

I do have a couple of issues with it though that I asked Riverdi about and I did not get an answer.

First of all the backlight, that cable that is sticking out to the side on the top.
Why? If I would order displays in any meaningfull quantity, I would tell the supplier to redesign that.
Riverdi did the same with the 12.1", which is one of the reasons I never bought one.

My second issue with the RVT156HKBNWCA0-B is the barrel connector to supply it.
Not only is a barrel connector not locking, that thing has a height of 11mm.
I would have preferred a 662102145021 from WE or a 505578-0271 from Molex.

So, yes, I would buy a 10" version, or even a 12.1" version if the backlight connection is fixed.
And I would opt for a way smaller external flash, like 64MBit, using the external SD card is nice.
Same with the DDR3 SRAM, 4GBit seems excessive.

I agree with you.

I want to test out the BT82x, but I can't find a suitable display module. Riverdi released a BT820B display, but it's 15.6 inches and quite expensive. I'm not sure who would buy a 15.6" display for embedded projects—5" or 7" displays are much more common. Hopefully, next year someone will release a 7" BT82x display module that I can experiment with.
