GFM Pico Developer Kit for DLP Projection

This developer kit provides OEM's as well as laboratories with an easy access to the technology of micro mirror devices, for measurement and specialized applications. It contains the Pico-Projector by Texas Instruments, a compact PCB module driving the projector, and GFM's software interfaces for Visual Studio and LabVIEW.

With the GFM solution, the Pico projector can be synchronized with other devices, for many applications a must.

Highlights:

• Synchronization with other devices
• Pixel accurate projection (no averaging)
• API for Visual Studio
• LabVIEW interface

The matchbox sized Pico projector delivers a precise image with excellent brightness. The compact and versatile driver board with dedicated software by GFM provides a connection between the Pico projector and a PC, that is very simple to use: Via USB, image sequences can be transferred into the board's memory, and can be projected at a speed of up to 60 full frames/second, in color or black-and-white.

The Kit is controlled by a versatile programming toolbox and the also available

LabVIEW interface, enabling the integration into complex laboratory or automation tasks with real-time controlling, by means of an easy to use graphical interface.

The user can concentrate on his core requirements, without having to cope with interfaces, video technology, optics etc.
Almost any kind of image or pattern projection, including structured light applications in measurement, laboratory or media applications, is perfectly and easily achievable with this Pico Developer Kit by GFM.
