Arbor 50C
Arbor 50C is an expansion board for any Overo COM with support for 5.0" Newhaven Capacitive multi-touch screen, Ethernet, USB and audio.
IMPORTANT: This version of the Arbor Board is deprecated because it mates only with Overo COMs using the discontinued AVX connectors, manufactured before January 2020.
Overo COMs manufactured since January 2020 use Panasonic connectors. If interested in a version of the Arbor with a Panasonic connector, contact us.

Multi-touch ready with the Newhaven capacitive 5.0" touchscreen (screen sold separately), Arbor 50C features 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, USB Host, USB On-the-Go, audio stereo-out and line-in. Use it with any Overo-series COM (COM sold separately).
The connector for Newhaven Capacitive Multi-Touch Screens used on this board is ideal for providing a user interface for handheld devices needing multi-touch graphical input with audio for industrial, medical, and automation systems.
Requires either a 5V/3.5A power supply available from Gumstix or an external battery (not included). Must be between 5.5V - 36V and fit a 2 cell JST XH balance connector.
Power supply from Gumstix is available here: PWR008. Example battery is available here.
Customize Your Board
The Arbor 50C design is available in Geppetto for you to make it your own. Swap the 5.0" LCD connector for the 7.0", add WiFi or LTE connectivity or strip it down to the bare essentials. Make it the board you need with Geppetto's easy to use drag-and-drop interface.
