  MiniView 1700, A rugged 3"x3" LCD display.

This rugged display unit is capable of operating in harsh marine and off-highway applications. Designed to operate with the MotoHawk® line of rugged controllers, the circular display (65 pixels high, 65 pixels wide, 4 built-in fonts, adjustable backlight) is controlled from the customer application via the MiniView 1700 CAN interface, typically using the MotoHawk® block set. If you're looking for a more functional, color, and equally affordable display as MiniView, you may want to check out the Veethree Instruments VeeCAN 320.

Features include:

• Operating Temperature: -40C to 60C
• CANbus data link
• Comes with SmartCraft connector
• IP-X7 Marine Protection Rating
• Rugged Case
