An HMI, also known as a human interface, is a display that allows a user to control and monitor his or her machine.A common example of an HMI is an ATM machine, coffee machine, or beauty machine on which the user can interact with the machine using screens and buttons.
Today, through this guide, we will introduce:
- Introduction to HMI
- HMI and STONE
- Why use STONE HMI

- HMI project concept
Introduction to HMI - human interface
- A human interface is a component of certain devices that allows the user to interact with the machine.
- The interface consists of hardware and software that provide information to users by allowing them to input signals that are converted into machines.
- Information including temperature, pressure, speed, time, battery and so on!
- The interface can also have a variety of forms and sizes, including: 3.5 ', 4.3 ', 5 ', 5.6 ', 5.7 ', 7 ', 8 ', 9.7 ', 10.1 ', 10.4 ', 12.1 ', 15.1 '.
- With HMI, you can closely monitor the machine and control and maintain it.This, in turn, can improve efficiency, diagnosis, and monitoring.
- One of the biggest benefits of HMI is the user friendliness of the graphical display.You can add colors and images to easily and quickly identify problems.
- You can use an HMI almost anywhere you need human intervention with a machine or automated device.For example, you can use them with medical beauty equipment, 3D printers, engineering projects, automobiles, etc.
HMI with STONE
- STONE provides intelligent HMI solutions.Any smart TFT LCD module with an MCU (with a cortex-m4 32-bit CPU) can be controlled with simple hexadecimal instructions via the UART port.
- The module consists of CPU, TFT drive, flash memory, UART port, power supply and so on.STONE also provides basic controls and powerful design software (STONE TOOL Box).
- You can use the STONE TOOLBox software to set up various functions on the graphical user interface, such as text, graphics, curves, image switching, keyboard, progress bar, slider, dial, clock and touch buttons, data storage, USB download, video and audio.
- Engineers can easily develop the tft-lcd color user interface and touch control features, which can reduce a lot of development time and cost.
- STONE is mainly used in the field of industrial electronics.It is the best solution to replace the traditional LCD and LED digital tube.
- You can easily connect the STONE HMI display via TTL serially through its peripheral MCU to provide event notifications that the peripheral MCU can execute.
- With the STONE HMI display TTL serial interface, you can easily connect them to microcontrollers like STM, RAM MCU, Arduino and Raspberry Pi, or any system that can communicate via serial ports.
