separate ‘Application Guide’ document.

In order to connect using USB ActiveSync mode, a device driver is needed for
the host PC. Instruction relating to the installation and use of these drivers is
contained in the appendices of this document.

Light Touch also supports ‘USB Mass Storage’ mode, which allows Light
Touch to appear as an external drive to a host PC or Mac.

Mass storage mode supports a higher transfer rate and the ability to connect
without using a device driver. However, whilst Light Touch is connected as a
mass storage device, it cannot access its own file system.

The main screen of the USB Mode control panel allows the connection type to
be selected as shown below.

There are two different mass storage modes because Light Touch contains
two separate memories that are accessible to the user. The ‘internal’ Flash
memory has a capacity of 4GB and is present at all times. The ‘micro-SD’
Flash memory is an optional memory card that may be fitted into the device
via the external micro-SD card slot.

If mass-storage (micro-SD) mode is selected, the user will first be prompted
to make sure that a micro-SD card is inserted.

Developing Custom Applications

Introduction

The Light Touch LT1221 Series is designed to be an application platform that
users can create their own content for. The system is designed to enable
users to create applications using either one of two popular software
platforms:

•

Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 – the Adobe Flash development toolset is currently
used by over 1,000,000 developers. A wide range of visually-rich, interactive
applications can be developed quickly and easily without the need for
complex coding. As such, this method of creating applications is accessible
to a wider range of content developers such as graphic designers and
artists. Flash Lite 3.1 can also be used for the development of complex
applications due to its support for ActionScript 2.0 code.

•

Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 – this powerful development
environment gives developers maximum control over the system at the
expense of more complex code development. Standard tools such as
Microsoft Visual Studio can be used to create applications and the
developer can get low-level access to system peripherals which would not
be accessible via Flash Lite 3.1

The Light Touch LT1221 Series runs Microsoft WinCE 6.0 R3 as the operating
system and includes all of the files needed to run applications written in both
Flash Lite 3.1 and .NET Compact Framework 3.5.

Connecting to the Unit

Light Touch can be connected to a host computer via USB. The USB
connection can be run in two modes: USB mass storage mode (i.e. providing
drag-and-drop file transfer support, or ActiveSync mode (i.e. providing file
transfer and debug capabilities for Windows PCs). Information on how to set
the USB mode is provided in the ‘Light Touch Settings -> USB Mode
of this document.

’ section

For USB ActiveSync mode, the recommended method of connecting to the
Light Touch from a PC is slightly different depending on which operating
system the PC is running:

For Windows XP:

•

Ensure that the host PC has Microsoft ActiveSync software installed

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en­us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx . With the Windows XP

operating system, it is recommended to use ActiveSync version 4.5

•

Plug in the power to the Light Touch and turn the unit on

•

Connect the Light Touch unit to a PC via the USB cable. The required USB
cable is: Micro-USB (Type B) to Full Size USB (Type A).

bbb

Light Touch LT1020 – User Guide v1.1 – Application Release C1.0.0 | Page 20

LT1221_UG_V2_9| Page 20

•

Follow the step-by-step instructions as shown in Appendix A.

For Windows 7 or Vista:

•

Plug in the power to the Light Touch and turn the unit on

•

Connect the Light Touch unit to a PC via the USB cable. The required USB
cable is: Micro-USB (Type B) to Full Size USB (Type A).

•

Follow the step-by-step instructions as shown in Appendix B.

Internal File Structure

The internal file structure of the Light Touch LT1221 Series is shown in Figure

18. The file ‘Menu.swf’ is the application that is run on start-up unless user
generated applications are present. This launches the ‘Application Launcher
Carousel’, which is effectively a dynamic, data-driven menu system. The
contents of the menu system is defined using a number of XML files, with
‘main.xml’ being the principal one, which references other category-specific
files such as ‘videos.xml’.

Figure 18 – File Structure of the LT1221 Series

The contents of this directory are supplied on the CD that comes with the
Light Touch so that the user has a backup. They are located in:

<CD Drive Letter>:\Software\InternalFlash\

bbb

Light Touch LT1020 – User Guide v1.1 – Application Release C1.0.0 | Page 21

LT1221_UG_V2_9| Page 21

Configuring Application Use on Start-Up

The Light Touch can be configured to use different applications on start-up.
On power-up, the system will load the operating system and then
automatically search for a number of pre-defined applications in memory. The
following list shows the name, location and priority order of files that are
searched for by the system on start-up:

1. "\\storage card\\startup.exe

2. "\\storage card\\startup.swf

3. "\\internalflash\\startup\\startup.exe

4. "\\internalflash\\startup\\startup.swf

5. "\\internalflash\\menu.swf

"

" (*See Note A)

"
"

"

Notes

A. The ‘\\storage card\\startup.swf’ path is only supported by Light

Touch software versions 3.8.0 and higher (from May 2011)

B. The ‘storage card’ location refers to the microSD card, which is located

on the rear side of the Light Touch device. For the LT1221 Series, access
to the card slot requires removal of the rear plastic cover, by removing
two screws.

Therefore, if all of these files are present in the file system, the first one in the
list is the application that will be run. If none of these files exists, the system
will pause and wait until one does exist.

This system means that it is straightforward to reconfigure the system to load
a user-generated application rather than the pre-loaded Flash Lite
demonstration applications. When the unit is delivered, the ‘startup’ sub­directory will be present within the ‘InternalFlash’ directory, but it will not
contain any files. Therefore, the system will load ‘menu.swf’ on power-up until
the user uploads either ‘startup.exe’ or ‘startup.swf’ into the ‘startup’ sub­directory or onto the microSD card.

Tip:
When developing and testing new applications on a Light Touch unit, the
following procedure is recommended:

1. Place the new application in one of the following two locations whilst
testing:

a. In a new directory in the InternalFlash folder and edit one of the

.xml files (e.g. work.xml) to create a launch icon for the
application in one of the menus or sub-menus, or

b. Put the application on a microSD card and insert it into the Light

Touch

2. Once the application has been fully tested and is known to work
correctly, it can be run from the startup folder.

Light Touch LT1020 – User Guide v1.1 – Application Release C1.0.0 | Page 22

LT1221_UG_V2_9| Page 22

Creating Applications in Adobe Flash Lite 3.1

The recommended tool for Application development is Flash Creative Studio
4 or later. It should be set to ActionScript 2 only, as Flash Lite 3.1 is not
compatible with ActionScript 3. The screen size should be set to 848 x 480
and touch interactions are equivalent to mouse clicks.

Applications created using Flash Lite 3.1 can communicate to system-level
components via API calls. Examples of such components include the LBO
virtual keyboard and audio volume levels. A document describing the API
components and how to use them is available on request from LBO.

For further information and suggestions of good design practice, please refer
to the Light Touch Design Guidelines document, which is available on request
from LBO.

Creating Applications in Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5

Microsoft’s .NET Compact Framework is a version of the .NET framework
designed to run on mobile devices. Included on the Light Touch unit is .NET
compact Framework 3.5. The framework uses some of the same libraries
available in the full .NET framework and also includes some specifically
designed for mobile devices.

MSDN has further details on the Compact Framework:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f44bbwa1.aspx

The recommended tool for application development is Microsoft Visual Studio

2008. The screen size should be set to 848 x 480 and touch interactions are
equivalent to mouse clicks.

For further information and suggestions of good design practice, please refer
to the Light Touch Design Guidelines document, which is available on request
from LBO.
