Product details

The VersaPad Plus PDK (Product Development Kit) is the ideal solution to evaluate and understand the capabilities of our cutting-edge multi-touch rugged VersaPad technology. It provides everything developers need to bring their designs to realization. The four-wire resistive touchpad, which features a giant 115 mm x 65 mm surface area), is composed of two resistive layers separated by an air gap. One plate is used for the X-axis and the other is used for the Y-axis. When pressure is applied, the two resistive plates make contact. A micro-controller measures position and pressure and then uses advanced, proprietary algorithms to yield smooth mouse functionality. The incorporation of our proprietary FSR technology allows us to use force to provide optimized touchpad performance. In addition this touchpad has two touch interaction capability so you can take advantage of pinch and zoom and two finger scrolling.  The VersaPad a versatile touchpad module intended for integration by OEMs into laptops, military and rugged computers, panel PCs, and medical devices. With smoothness and sensitivity internally enhanced by true pressure measurement, it offers all customary mouse functions—mousing, tapping, dragging, and scrolling but now with the addition of two touch gestures. The module's tough, moisture- and grime-resistant surface can be operated with a finger or stylus, even in wet or dirty environments. Plus, it operates over an extended temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.

 

The VersaPad HDK includes a demo module which can be easily connected to a PC for plug-and-play evaluation using the included micro-USB cable. It also includes one additional sensor module with an FFC connector configurations for engineers to integrate into their own devices using the recommended guidelines.  The kit also includes two FFC cables for connecting both the touchpad and external mouse buttons if this is part of your design.

Category Overview

Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) & Pointing Solutions

Interlink HMI and pointing products are built for users who need dependable control interfaces beyond office and desktop conditions.

The standard lineup spans resistive touchpads like VersaPad, joystick modules such as MicroJoystick, and industrial pointing devices including DuraPoint. These modules can add touchpad and directional control behavior to a wide range of electronic products.

Interlink’s HMI products emphasize rugged design principles for real-world use. When properly integrated, they are engineered to tolerate spills, dirt, vibration, and temperature stress in markets like healthcare, industrial automation, and field equipment.

Unlike many capacitive-only interfaces, these force-based and resistive solutions can be used with gloves, which is often required in hospitals, factories, and maintenance environments. HDK options are available to accelerate evaluation during design and prototyping.

  • Resistive touchpad, joystick, and pointing solutions
  • Ruggedized interface approach for harsh operating environments
  • Glove-compatible interaction for industrial and medical workflows
  • HDK support for rapid proofing and integration planning
