EVE Screen Designer (ESD) 3.x
The EVE Screen Designer 3.X integrated development environment (IDE) further facilitates EVE-based human machine interface (HMI) construction. It presents a simple, highly intuitive package through which a wide range of exciting visual effects can be created and various items of graphical content edited, in order that enhanced user experiences are derived.
Building on the previous generation, it has advanced code generation capabilities (with exported C-based source code being applicable to any hardware associated with Bridgetek’s FT90x MCUs), plus a greater scope of widgets that can be incorporated. As users rely predominantly on visual programming (though there is provision to use text for editing purposes), they do not need to have an in-depth understanding of EVE display lists.
*Please note that the current version of the ESD3.x supports the FT81x series only.
Key features of the ESD 3.x include:
- WYSIWYG IDE
- Logic node based Visual Programming method for screen logic creation
- ANSI C Code generation for completed project
- Ability to live preview the designed project
- Higher level widget and widget communications
- Interactive widgets
- Extensive widget library
- Tool chain integration
- Comprehensive example projects
