What's a Tablet PC?
Tablet PCs are compact, ultra-portable entertainment devices that
let you read email, surf the Internet, read eBooks, view photos,
play games, listen to music and watch video files. Most tablets are
based on a smaller operating system, which allows you to purchase
and download additional applications from supported stores. Tablet
PCs do not have a CD/DVD drive and will not run Microsoft Windows
or its applications. Tablet PCs function as a secondary device for
casual entertainment purposes, and are not meant to replace a
computer. They are ideal for use around the home and on the go with
WiFi or 3-4g mobile broadband connections (pay as you go, contract
may be required for service).
In theory the ARM BASIC EFI can use this as an EFIS display for all
you engine parameters.
No stand alone LCD for micro EFI computers can come close to this
resolution.
Things they are a changing fast :)

Has anyone looked at the Raspberry pi or Beaglebone Black with a
high NIT display on the HDMI port? Seems like perhaps a good EFIS
core. Has SD slot, USB, HDMI, network, uart port, some gpio, etc...
Certainly missing the 4.3" touchscreen at $50.
Dunno what happened here as pi's keep replicating at my home. They
shoulda called it the Tribble device.

The cost of the ARM IDE software (Integrated Development
Environment) is $3,300 to $6,600. They must be kidding :)

Hi folkz
I was a businesses devloper at a Wankel engineering-facility and be a
pilot of ultralights.
For my gyro-project I will relay on mazda rotary and hook on the
analogue world to my tablet with IOIO. An Arduino shield can also due
the job.

Maybe it will speed up our dreams for an EFIS tablet ;-)
My biggest concerns are the bad looking displays in sunlight or
coldness...
kind regards Claude
Sometimes you have to make a shroud or hood.
IMHO BASIC on 32 bit Teensey 3.1 beats Arduino by a factor of two :)

IMHO C is cryptic nonsense. Computers are smart.
They should be able to understand plain English.
BASIC is the closest think to plain English in the
computer programming world.
As far as I can tell there is no BASIC IDE for Raspberry.
There appears to be some Linux solutions but most
of the world users have Windows unfortunately.
