　　创设丰富的用户界面和触摸屏制造商

　　为制造商社区设计的微处理器板不仅吸引了热衷于进入电子世界的发明家的想象力，也吸引了专业工程师的想象力。独立顾问、新初创公司和大型工程组织的团队在开发新产品时都面临时间和成本压力。这些可以通过使用经济的板、扩展模块和代码示例来克服，这些示例是在制造商社区中发展起来的。

　　可以使用现成的硬件快速地配置测试床，以实现诸如无线连接等基本功能。绕过诸如RF电路工作或编写低级驱动程序等挑战，工程师们可以很快将注意力转向开发应用程序的更高级别的区分功能。

　　大量的各种扩展板可从众多的厂商，利用建立的生态系统如Arduino提供添加特殊的功能，如运动或环境遥感，占用检测，接近传感器，MEMS麦克风，GPS接收机的一种简单的方式，或其他。这些资源可以帮助工程师加快时间来获得概念的验证和运行。

　　Creating a professional user interface

　　A typical maker approach is to build a simple breadboard-based project， using mechanical switches and LEDs to demonstrate the major functions. For a more professional looking user interface， an LCD module or graphical TFT display could be designed in and combined with buttons， a keypad， or a touchscreen sensor.

　　Various graphical color TFT-LCDs are positioned for use with popular maker boards. Depending on the model， they may be a breakout board connected using individual wires， or may be designed to plug directly into the main board’s expansion headers. Several brands offer suitable displays， including those familiar to makers such as Adafruit， DFRobot and Mikroelektronika， as well as those perhaps more familiar in professional engineering circles like FTDI. Popular products range from tiny color TFTs in sizes below 1 inch， to touchscreen TFTs like the 2.8 inch Adafruit 1770， or larger touchscreens of 5 inches or more. The displays commonly also provide an SD card slot， which can be useful for storing bitmap images to be displayed on the screen.
