Resistive Touch Screen to USB Mouse Controller - AR1100

Getting touchy performance with your screen's touchscreen? Resistive touch screens are incredibly popular as overlays to TFT and LCD displays. If you want to connect one to a computer, you need something to handle the analog-to-digital conversion. Most converters we've found are not very easy to use, and are 'fixed' - making them difficult to calibrate. The AR1100 is a nice chip that solves this problem by acting as a touch->USB converter, and also comes with calibration software. The calibration software is Windows only, but once you've calibrated, you can use the screen on any OS. The AR1100 shows up as a regular Mouse or Digitizer HID device, so no drivers are required. We've tested it successfully on Mac, Windows, and Debian Linux (Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi). Other Linux distributions may or may not work, but if you're running Linux, you're probably used to that.
