QVGA Controller™
I/O-Rich Embedded Computer Sports Advanced Graphical User Interface

QVGA instrument front panel with touch screen monitor and human machine interface HMI

Notice: Legacy Product

The QVGA Controller is a legacy product not available for new customers. If you're looking for a HC11-based integrated touchscreen controller programmable in C or Forth, consider Mosaic's QScreen™ Controller, which is compatible with our all of our Wildcard™ Modular I/O Boards.

For existing customers looking for QVGA documentation, see a summary of specifications below, or find the full QVGA documentation on Mosaic's Documentation Web.
