Modular Design In Electronics

[nullexception]

Hello all. I have an arduino board with http://www.atmel.com/devices/atmega328p.aspx

I wanted to run java fx because of its nice user interface features but java fx requires at least 16mb of memory alone. To go around that problem,i have a solution in mind but i need advice if this can work.

My idea is to separate arduino which hosts the main processing programs and the display part.The display component is touch based. When a user enters some data and wants some action done by pressing say, submit, i want the data to be posted to the arduino program where the processing is done. Once the processing is done,the arduino program returns a response to the display for success of failure.

What i describe is analogous to ajax if you understand ajax or good old cpu,monitor analogy.

Is this kind of thing possible?.

Thanks.

Sure, sounds like a job for a simple serial port to me.

You will have to design a protocol for passing the data back and forward, but that is not rocket science.
