Maybe... Obviously you don't want to cover the touch part of the screen... You can see pictures again at: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7422&start=126

The idea is the main mounting plate that the hole is large enough that the wires don't touch... On the 1.5" one, the cover that Robot Dude made for me, was smaller and then I used some foam spacers behind that held it away... But the screen is recessed and you can see gaps... Alternatively would make the main hole larger where there are gaps and then have some form of molding over the edge of it... My guess is once you have one in hand you will figure out which way you want to go...

In your previous picture, you show 2 2D joysticks plus 4 knobs (8 Analog values)... My current Arduino version is 2 3D (actually 4d as has buttons on top), plus 3 sliders (so 9 Analog so far). I still wish to play with with accelerometers so probably maybe 3 more. Plus battery voltage... So still want about 12-14 Analog inputs... My board has 14 as while the 644p has 8, I took over 2 of them and went to a mux. But I only have 12 3 pin headers so far... One of the two extras went for battery and the last one just had a pin as I did not have room... May rectify.

Will probably be busy on other stuff most of today and tomorrow so may be few days.

Yes i was looking to leave a gap surounding the screen so nothing touch it and it screw flat on the case.

I would go for I2C accelerometer and such.. i have cheap IMU that are made for Multiwii Multicopter controller that integrate Gyroscope - Accelerometer - Magnetometer - Barometer all on the same i2C bus and are made to use on Arduino..

I would also go for 3D or 4D gimbal... so maybe remove the knob potentiometer ?

looking good =)

So i just opened the cad file, and umm doesnt look like we have alot of space down there.. Are those gimbals really that thick on the back? so were you thinking about putting the board just under the screen??

As i have said, that was made using my old gimbal.
Which was a lot bigger than the one at lynxmotion.

The last picture i posted is with the right gimbal and lot more space.

Yes the best would be to fit under the screen and have a back door that can be remove..?

Kurte, do you have basic dimensions of your board.. like mounting holes ?

which i was in US and had mail the weekend..

PICTURES....!!!!!

Now i have to find out how to use it =)

I don't see the image..
Go to 4D Systems website and in the screen you have much informations there

EDIT ... now i see it

Wow this screen is nice... i installed the demo program and looks good =)

As I mentioned, I would probably not be around much this weekend...
The current board is 3" by 2.6", the hole pattern matches all Lynxmotion boards... 2.7" and 2"

Been playing around some with SMD version, so far it looks like:

Can do some more cleanup... I also converted the 3.3v/5v conversion over to the same design that the Parallax boards use, so should be more robust that way...
Note: some of the 3d stuff above is off, I did not update the drawing stuff to use 7 pin versus the 6 pin for before.. As I gave X6 (Extended Serial 6) a full 3 pin header.
Also trying to decide if I will also give X7 one as well with a default jumper to Voltage divider so you can remove it if you need 14 Analog inputs...

I think that post do no comfirm the "I would probably not be around much this weekend"...!
Thanks that's more than enough to look where to fit it.

The CNC test i run for the case is horible.. i don't even want to post pictures of it..

That smt version is real good.. i like it Kurt..
