New MCU development kit can accelerate product development by six months

Anders has expanded its embedded capabilities with the launch of DRAGONEYE, a groundbreaking MCU development platform based on the STM32F4 series CPU. Its first iteration is paired with a rotary encoder display, with others to follow. It vows to be a game-changer for engineers and product developers globally by providing a pre-developed Hardware/Software combination that is straightforward to integrate within your system to improve the user experience interaction of the final application.

It allows idea validation with a quick proof of concept and the development of software for a final prototype, saving up to six months' worth of time and financial resources in hardware development and driver integration.

DRAGONEYE is powered by the ARM Cortex M4 core from ST Microelectronics, setting it apart as a powerhouse for rapid development, testing and evaluation of display performance, GUI designs, software control, I/O communication ports, and more. This platform has pre-developed drivers for a growing range of circular displays, input encoders and touch sensors, saving significant engineering time and effort in development and debugging. It delivers a rapid proof of concept and accelerates the overall product prototype development.

The platform is developed with versatility in mind to accelerate your product development cycle. The company can readily customise it by re-purposing the industrial-grade hardware, the software, or the mechanical features for production reality and provide a complete sub-assembly for mass production and long-term continuity of supply. Whether you need a specific display size or shape for an application or are considering a different STM32-MCU configuration, the company's engineering team can design a platform to get your concept to production quickly.

The ready-to-run MCU Development Kit includes everything required and is available now: DRAGONEYE MCU development platform with access to STM's trusted 'cube' suite of software tools, including the TouchGFX GUI editor; pre-integrated hardware with 2.1" Rotary Encoder LCD (1.3" rotary encoder or 2.1" circular capacitive touchscreen display options available soon); and pre-developed software driver package (BSP).

The platform caters to various industries, including smart home and buildings, medical devices, fitness and well-being, industrial control, audio, and more.
