While the display is primarily designed for HDMI devices, you can use it with an Arduino UNO for touch-based projects by interfacing the touch panel via USB and using an external HDMI source for the display. Below is an example of Arduino code to read touch input via USB (requires a USB host shield):
#include <USBHost.h>
// Initialize USB host object
USBHost usb;
// Function to initialize the USB host
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication
if (usb.begin()) {
Serial.println("USB Host initialized successfully.");
} else {
Serial.println("Failed to initialize USB Host.");
}
}
void loop() {
usb.Task(); // Process USB events
// Add code here to handle touch input if a compatible library is used
}
Note: The above code is a basic example. For full touch functionality, you may need a compatible USB touch library and additional setup.
