The SparkFun Red Vision Touch Display is a versatile interface designed to enhance the RP2350 RedBoard IoT with machine vision capabilities. It features a vibrant 5.08 cm capacitive touch LCD with a resolution of 320x240, fitting seamlessly into the standard R3 footprint. This setup offers a straightforward visual interface for IoT projects without the hassle of external cabling. While compatible with other 3.3V logic RedBoards or R3 Arduino boards with adequate processing power, the Red Vision Code Package is specifically supported on the RP2350.
The Red Vision Touch Display goes beyond being just a screen; it is the core of your vision system. It includes a dedicated connector for the SparkFun Red Vision Camera Board, enabling you to stack the camera and display directly atop your microcontroller, resulting in a compact, wire-free configuration. Additionally, the display features an I/O expander for controlling the display and, if connected, the camera's extra pins via I2C.
When used with the RP2350 RedBoard IoT, this hardware unlocks the potential of the SparkFun Red Vision code package. This MicroPython adaptation of the renowned OpenCV library empowers you to perform complex tasks like object detection, color tracking, and contour analysis directly on the microcontroller.
