Introducing the Microtouch

The Microtouch is a lightweight AVR based open source touch screen device powered by the Atmega32u4. It features a 320×240 pixel touchscreen, an accelerometer, full speed USB, a micro-SD card reader and support for a lithium ion battery. It is supported by an application framework of sorts and it is possible to run a variety of applications with varying degrees of utility.

It comes with a bootloader which allows you to download your “apps” to the Microtouch without the need for an AVR programmer. Possibilities are bounded only by your imagination (and the 8 bit cpu + 2.5k of RAM). Tools support includes a PC simulator and a live sampling profiler. Source code and tools are available for download. Example apps are available including Image Viewer, Paint, Flip, Pacman and others.

The Microtouch was designed by Rossum and is available from Adafruit,
also a seller of our
Bus Pirate for $30.
