Kepads/ covers for RGB LCD Shield

Post by patrikk »

Hi,

I think you have really great products but I believe that you are missing covers or nice keypads for e.g. LCD RGB Shield with buttons for products such as id : 714 . it would be great with a cover for it with some nice buttons with symbols such as up down left right and then maybe A B for select and reset.

What do you think?

Thanks for the suggestion. I will refer it to our product design team.

If you have access to a 3D printer, there are several printable designs for this on Thingverse.

Hello,

Has anyone found a good cap to use with the switches on this product (714)??

I am going to panel mount the screen/switch assembly and I need the user to be able to hit the switches through the panel.

CAP TACTILE ROUND BLACK (SW1139-ND) http://www.digikey.com/product-search/e ... s=B32-2010
CAP TACTILE SQUARE YELLOW (SW249-ND) http://www.digikey.com/product-search/e ... s=B32-1030
CAP TACTILE SQUARE BLUE (SW250-ND) http://www.digikey.com/product-search/e ... s=B32-1040
CAP TACTILE ROUND LIGHT GRAY (SW1138-ND) http://www.digikey.com/product-search/e ... &vendor=39
CAP TACTILE ROUND YELLOW (SW848-ND) http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/e ... -ND/735484

I really don't want to go back and de-solder the switches and replace them with a longer shaft.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
- Jeff
