Hi there,
I'm new here but couldn't find a specific 'introductions' area, so figured I'd just dive on in with one of my projects.
This is the original 'screen used' Air Lock control system panel from the main set of Prometheus which I hope to get working properly.
It's made from GRP and is in two parts, the outer section with the buttons and the inner section with a 10" LCD screen and button display.
The screen is still in place and I hope to get it hooked up to a computer to run some graphics (research needed here). It's a fairly standard VGA screen so linking it to a computer won't be a problem.
The button display is a set of (what I call) blind etched logos on an acrylic sheet with a lightbox behind. They glow quite nicely when hooked up to 12v.
So do the buttons themselves but I haven't taken a photo of this yet.
I really want to get it up and running soon and possibly use it on the wall outside my study/office at home. Once I've managed to get the LCD display working with the appropriate graphics, I'll probably run it from something like a Raspberry Pi.
I'll add more details as I do stuff with it.
Thanks for a great forum by the way.
