Paul,

I ran across this and thought of your EFIS project. It would be
much more flexible than a tablet on your display size.

Advantage is that there is no limit to screen size. As long as the display
supports HDMI.

The downsides are many. First, lack of touch screen support, then a
lot os smaller monitors do not have support for HDMI.

A tablet, on the other side, have build in touch screen support, and
there is no need (also means no support) for video connection. The
down side is limited screen sizes to 4", 5", 6.5", 7", 8" , 10.1",
Usually 4:3 or 16:9 form factor.

Both have the same programming support.

Could you not use the USB port as an input for the touch screen
commands?  Surely there's an interface out there like that.

Josh

The USB 20-port I/O board I've been paying with takes either analog or digital inputs,
so one could configure an entire panel of push-button switches to serve the same function as a touch-screen.
