Fastest Path From Prototype to Production! Three Graphical User Interface (GUI) hardware solutions available, LCD Modules, Controller Boards, and Controller Chips Regardless of which hardware solution you choose, here’s a partial list of what our technology can do for your product: • Considerably shorter GUI development time • Reduced microprocessor load • FAST user-interface execution and navigation • FAST and easy updates and changes • Field updateable GUI • Animated graphics a piece-of-cake! Improve Your Product's Performance and Shorten Your Development Time! "With Easy GUI we were able to complete our basic user interface in less than two hours, saving me months of hardware design and programming effort— and it freed up nearly 80% of our processor resources!" — Mark Doble, President, MD Designs, Tampa, FL Amulet's Technology Solution At the heart of Amulet's LCD integration solution is the Easy GUI Controller Chip. This chip (ASIC) is a combination LCD controller and a user interface engine. The chip eliminates the need for complex code to draw each pixel on the LCD. Amulet's Easy GUI Controller Chip renders graphical user interface (GUI) pages containing graphic images, Amulet Widgets, and other UI objects directly to the LCD. This lets your embedded micro do its job more efficiently. Thus, the main application can run on a smaller processor with less RAM and ROM, and code development and maintenance time is significantly reduced. Create A User Interface In Minutes! If you have ever created a web page, you know how quick and easy it is to create UI elements using HTML drag-anddrop tools. You can create a complex GUI for an embedded product in four simple steps: 1. Use graphics programs to create rich images (e.g. JASC Paintshop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, etc.). 2. Use web page (HTML) authoring tools to create desired look and feel (e.g. Microsoft Front Page, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe GoLive, etc.). 3. Use the Amulet compiler to compile the HTML into µHTML pages. 4. Program the flash. Your Easy GUI is now ready to navigate! "Easy GUI may be the answer to your prayers...!" — Tom Cantrell, Circuit Cellar Magazine Amulet Widgets Amulet Widgets are UI objects common to embedded systems, but not supported by standard HTML. Widgets provide userinput functions such as function buttons, radio buttons, and check boxes, as well as display-data functions such as bargraphs, line plots, and numeric fields. Generally, Widgets are tied to an external variable, graphics files, or other µHTML pages. Widgets are designed to functionally interface with your embedded microprocessor (or other embedded device) via the Amulet serial protocol. Simple Serial Protocol The Easy GUI serial protocol uses ASCII text to implement three basic commands: • Get Variable (byte, word, string) • Set Variable • Invoke Function And the Easy GUI Protocol Simulator lets you emulate the serial interface to the Easy GUI hardware, right from your PC!
