FTDI adds advanced user interface mechanism to Arduino-inspired Vinco platform
Dave Sroka, Global Product Director at FTDI commented, “The new Touch Key shield demonstrates the Vinco platform’s ability to utilise the Android Open Accessory initiative, so that devices using the Android operating system, such as tablet PCs, can control items of external hardware through a human machine interface (HMI), over USB.”
The application note AN_196 gives an example of using the Vinco Touch Key Shield in an Android environment.

New Product Announcement: DB9 USB to Digital Modules
FTDI has added a series of USB to digital level interface modules, in DB9 form factors, to its product portfolio. These modules all utilise FTDI’s FT232R USB to serial UART bridge chip, which is capable of supporting data rates of 12 Mbits/s (USB Full Speed). They allow for the quick and easy upgrading of pieces of hardware to today’s most widely used serial interface standard in a highly convenient and cost effective manner. Drivers for the modules are available to download direct from the FTDI website.
