Hi Dave,
This looks very nice! I've been playing with something similar - but with a
slightly bigger screen, and without touch (I am going with capacitive
sensors around edge of screen bezel), based on the newish rabbit micos wifi
controllers (RC5500W) - I had a quick scout for a datasheet on the ADS7486,
but drew a blank - any pointers? I'm guessing there isn't scope in your
design for a half populated (processor-less) board exposing an SPI
interfac=
e
to the display?

PS. Re. perspex front panels - if you paint clear perspex from behind with
aerosol paint, you get a really nice professional looking finish
"through"
the perspex.
Cheers
Patrick

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>=A0</p>

<p>I have been looking at some way of installing small dedicated
touch screen units around my apartment for various control purposes and
bec=
ause
I have control of Homeseer via xAP I have designed the following after
comi=
ng
across small 2.4=94 touch panels for the 128x64 LCD displays.</p>

<p>=A0</p>

<p>I have used the displays already and they are very bright
and clear and come in either green or blue backlight.</p>

<p>=A0</p>

<p>I have developed a small PCB that fits on the rear of the
LCD and connects the data lines and has a small 4 way connector for the
tou=
ch
panel. =A0At present I have not yet had the board made up and I wanted to
post here and see if you had any thoughts on it or any ideas to add to it,
=
but
bear in mind the small size and what can fit on there.</p>

<p>=A0</p>

<p>At present I have an Atmel Micro and a Zigbee module on
there. I have included a relay as I had thought about it controlling a
simp=
le
contact closure on local external devices for switching on and off. As the
=
LCD
is programmable, it can be made to control or display any information and
respond the touch.!</p>

<p>=A0</p>

<p>If you have time, I would appreciate if you could download
the PDF and have a quick look and see if you could improve on what I have?

The
PDF has 3D views of the PCB with some information about. At present there
i=
s
little code for it other than what I have from previous products. It should
interface nicely to the xAP to Zigbee module I developed
