Cheers Chris,

Looks good, sure it'll make things so much easier for what you are about to start on.

Still not quite finished but a couple of pics to update:

The keypad is a standard 4 x 4 matrix which comes with standard number inserts. It took ages getting the alignment right in MS Word and I`m sure there were far far better ways but I eventually got somewhere close and that I am happy with:

And then the box - Maplins Electronics Housing, was a pain to cut, wanted to split. You can see the two connectors at the bottom, left is a 2.1mm power jack to connect to my old spare laptop charger (which powers both the driver and the indexer) and on the right is a 4 pin DIN connector which I`m using to couple the stepper motor to the box. Since the indexer has 5 profiles for different devices I wanted to be able to change the motor quickly and easily.

This is posed, :lol: but I wanted to see what it will look like mounted on the wall next to the mill and well it will look something like this. I have printed a mount or bezel that fits around the display, covers the screws and neatens the edge.

I`m really pleased I`ve gone down this route and it has worked really well! My next post, I should have it working and mounted on the wall. Perhaps a video as well.

Chris

Darren:
Chris I thought you had a mill :scratch:

raynerd:
Sorry, I think my wording reads badly. It is posed next to my mill - it is next to my mill, the mill is off the camera shot. It is posed because it isn`t mounted on the wall and also the keybad isn`t stuck down yet. Does that make sense?

Darren:
Aww, the joke don't work if you delete posts Chris ....... :doh:
