With that said if you put your display in 800 by 600 and then put your colors in high contrast. What you get is windows in 5 colors. Graphiti has 5 Heights. I have used it as a screen for Word. and you can see the letters come up. I have also used it with raspberry pi as a linux display but you can not fit many words on the screen. I tell people it is like having a 1950’s TV verses the TV of today. If you joined after my post go back to one of my first posts. It has videos of things I have done with it from using Microscopes. To using turtle graphics. If you want me to resend them I can send them just to you. I have also used it with Openscad to make a dumbbell. we are just on the start of these devices with things like the dot, Monarch, Kadence, and Graphiti but I still like the Graphiti for its Touch calcitrant and multi level over all the rest. And I have all of them but the Kadence.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Tactile-Talk <tactile-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Chad Allen via Tactile-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, October 2, 2024 1:07 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Tactile Talk for the discussion of the display and use of graphics on refreshable Braille platforms' <tactile-talk@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> chadallenmagic@me.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Tactile-Talk] Wikipedia article on the Optacon<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Awesome!
