7inch Capacitive Touch Panel Overlay for LattePanda V1 IPS Display

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of experimenting with LattePanda Boards and their awesome multi-functional style, you’ll know that these boards are designed for than just Making, and can actually be used for all kinds of computing and automation projects too, with some crazy people equipping installing full sized external graphics cards to push some LattePanda boards to their utmost maximum capabilities. This is why we love to get all kinds of great LattePanda peripherals like Display Modules to enhance the functionality further and allow for easy interfacing for end users. However, this 7inch Capacitive Touch Panel Overlay for LattePanda V1 IPS Display is quite a unique peripheral, and is actually designed to complement the 7inch IPS LCD 1024x600 Display for LattePanda V1 with extra touch capabilities, technically making it a “LattePanda Peripheral Peripheral” and boosting the functionality of the functionality-enhancing 7inch display for even more capabilities and an even better user experience.

This 7-inch Touch Panel Overlay is a specially designed overlay interface that is compatible with the 7inch IPS LCD 1024x600 Display for LattePanda V1, and despite looking like a display from a glance, is actually a display expansion, featuring a transparent panel that fits over the original display and provides touch functionality for touch-based user interfacing. This perfectly matches the classic LattePanda style, bringing great features and optional extras at great prices for cost-conscious Makers, allowing you to choose precisely how you want to interface with your projects, and ensuring that you can get just what your projects need without having to pay for any extras that you don’t need. Finally, although we don’t recommend it, you can also use this display in unique ways without the display it’s built for, and if you want to use it in a unique way, you can actually create a Wacom-style interface that features touch control, but is separated from the display you’re using.

Note: This Overlay Panel is NOT a display, and is built to fit on top of an LCD display to add touch capabilities. This is fantastic, but might be disappointing if you’re expecting it to display anything, so keep this in mind, and make sure to get a 7inch IPS LCD 1024x600 Display for LattePanda V1 to utilise this unit correctly.
