Control panel

My new project is a control panel. Always wanted to make one, but something kept getting in the way. Now I finally managed to realize it. Nothing special, the case itself is bent and welded from 2mm sheet metal, 12" touch screen monitor, industrial keyboard and all the buttons, computer also fits. All the buttons and MPG are connected via adruino. As usual, in many things had to figure out from scratch, the config turned out perhaps the most complex of those that I have ever done. But in the end, everything works as it should, thanks to this forum, I was able to find answers to all my questions here.

How do you like that keyboard and track ball?

The keyboard is generally comfortable, only the spacebar button is fuzzy, you have to press it only in the middle. The track ball is unfamiliar to me, but it works well. I don't think it will be used often, the touch screen and keyboard covers 99% of all requests.

I finally finished a project I had been working on for over a year (not every day, of course, but still). It is a control panel with a vertical 22" touchscreen monitor, an industrial keyboard, and a built-in computer. The frame is made of 20 series aluminum profile, with 1mm HIPS overlays. The interface is a modified Qtdragon_hd. The buttons and keyboard are connected via Arduino. Many thanks to everyone on this forum whose thoughts and ideas I have used. But a special thanks to cmorley, without whose help I would never have been able to achieve the functionality that it has. Thank you, Chris.

Is that a custom keypad now?
Looks good!

Thank you. This is an industrial keyboard from SYNTEK, model SK4-MB. It is made on a single board, but electrically there are two keyboards. The upper part with letters and numbers is a standard PS/2 (I had to figure out how to remap it). The lower part is a matrix keyboard combined with LEDs. Connecting and configuring it was the most time-consuming part of the job.
