Kitchen Computer

Here’s the dilly on the aforementioned touchscreen system: It’s an ADS Graphics Client Plus, except with a 12.1" Sharp LQ12S41 LCD with a 4-wire touchscreen on it. The computer attached is a PC-104 board with a StrongARM SA-1100 onboard, as well as ethernet (and lots of other stuff, read the docs if you are interested). As I said before, my goal would be to have a nice, simple, internet appliance mounted to the kitchen wall to fetch recipes and stuff…. Geeky? Sure… But it should be a fun project…

I think I am aiming for a cheap project, though, so I am probably going to get embedded linux installed on the thing instead of dealing with licensing VxWorks, QNX, or Wince… We will see how it goes, though… I don’t yet have the flash card so I can’t boot it…. I am not sure what is installed on there now.
