COSTA MESA, Calif.\u2014(PR Newswire)\u00a0EarthLCD.com<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>the recognized leader in smart, touch LCDs announced last year the introduction of\u00a0the worlds\u2019 first 10 inch by 1 inch TFT LCD targeted at 1U rack mount internet appliances such as network analyzers, audio gear, video, audio controllers, and music servers. This year, CEO, Randy Schafer, presented the idea of a 1U Rack Mount Open Source appliance that would enclose this very unique TFT LCD.\u00a0 In order to get the 10\u201d by 1\u201d smart TFT LCD rapidly designed in, EarthLCD took an unprecedented step of achieving not just a reference design, but completing an open-source design which includes packaging, software and firmware to build a 1U rack mount appliance.\u00a0<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
Schafer exclaimed “Using the Raspberry Pi allows us to get this incredible display into potential users\u2019 hands fast and allow them to design high value internet appliances very rapidly by just adding their software and application specific I\/O via USB or I2C interfaces.”<\/span>

The Pi-Raq<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has\u00a0a powder coated sheet metal enclosure holding a Raspberry Pi B+ with an EarthLCD 10×1 LCD adapter board, the EarthLCD-10.4-1024100 TFT color display, and\u00a0a user interface control utilizing a jog wheel.The Solid works files are included for this metal enclosure along with the schematic and gerber for the LCD driver.\u00a0 With the innovation of the Pi-Raq and existing EarthLCD 10×1 display, Rack mount equipment, such as power controllers, network hubs and routers, can now have an easily programmable front panel with color TFT LCD.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
Running Debian Linux opens up the Pi-Raq standard network analyzer software, music servers and numerous open source applications to be ported to the Pi-Raq. The 4 USB ports and a 100 Mhz Ethernet Port allow for expanded network and I\/O connectivity.\u00a0 The Pi-Raq operates off 9-18 Volts D.C.\u00a0 \u00a0Using the Pi-Raq design will save customers months of design time and thousands of dollars and allow them to introduce a product rapidly.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
The Pi-Raq files will be on Github by\u00a0March 31st<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and the Pi-Raq will also be available as a\u00a0completed product for $249.00<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 The\u00a0EarthLCD 10×1 display\u00a0is available for $89 sample quantities.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
