Overview

Traditional washing machines are controlled with an existing microcontroller (MCU) designed within the system; however, the user interface is often implemented with buttons and dials.

Adding an EVE-enabled colour touch display brings many advantages including:

• The use of colour graphics adds a modern feel to the interface, allowing full control of the washing machine via one display
• Use the graphical display to show a range of parameters such as washing status, speed, cycle etc.
• Product errors can be easily displayed to users, whereas traditional designs require the user to search through manuals
• Touch display controls greatly improve the user experience and eliminate buttons
• Apply branding to the display, which can be customised to different product families
• Improve accessibility with different fonts, sizes and languages

​Key Features:​

The following key features of EVE make it ideal for a washing machine application:

• Resistive and Capacitive touch versions for different types of machines
• Custom fonts allow multi-language support and symbols such as temperature
• Low resource usage on the host MCU (ideal for adding a display to existing washing machine designs)
• Works with almost any MCU as an SPI peripheral (use EVE with your preferred/existing MCU)
• Video playback from flash allows user instruction videos/animations to be played
• Audio output and built-in sounds allow touch feedback and alert sounds to be easily added
