Software Development Kit V2 (SDK)
Introduction
Continuing in the success of the Touch Encoder Product Line, Grayhill is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest Touch Encoder Software Development Kit (SDK). With the Touch Encoder’s unique display, touchscreen, and rotary knob design, this multifunctional control is both sleek and rugged and fast becoming the user-interface choice for many industries such as Avionics, Marine, Ag/Con, Recreational Vehicles, Industrial and Luxury Automotive. Our new SDK, designed to work seamlessly with the graphics creation tool GUIDE, represents a significant leap forward, offering a more plug-and-play experience that simplifies your development process.
Features
Plug and Play Simplicity: Our SDK is engineered for effortless integration, requiring only power and USB-C cables to kickstart your development journey. Experience a smooth and hassle-free setup that streamlines your entire process.
Streamlined Communication for CAN J1939 customers: Say goodbye to third-party hardware dependencies when it comes to CAN J1939 communication. Our SDK eliminates the need for a separate piece of hardware, offering a unified solution that enhances both efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Enhanced Development Speed: Accelerate your development timeline with our user-friendly SDK. Minimize setup complexities, allowing you to focus more on refining your application and bringing your ideas to market faster.

Part Numbers
SDKs are available with or without the Touch Encoder device itself. SDKs without the Touch Encoder can be useful for those who already have a Touch Encoder but would like the added functionality of the SDK, especially for CAN J1939 communication because it has an on-board CAN/USB adaptor, or for use as an update station for low volume production.
