Hi All
Planning out a project at the moment. The display will be a AXE134Y. RevEd don't seem to stock/list bezels for their displays. I mainly use their displays for rapid development. I had a professional (trophy maker) use a laser cutter to cut out a plastic enclosure once. It was a good finish, but because he doesn't do this on a regular basis, the vibe was here it is and don't come back again!
This time I want to put a display onto a metal panel. A bezel adds a really nice finish to a project. I want to mount a display onto a rack mount panel (3RU) that carries fans on either side. The idea is to display the temperature of a couple of strategically placed DS18B20 sensors in the rack. Before someone posts back as says it's been done before and you can purchase something similar to this, I am aware of this, but where's the fun (and learning) in that process???
When I cut out the (metal) panel it won't look spot on (as I will use a jig saw), so a bezel will give it a professional finish.
I had a look on the web and I know Element14 carry a few bezels, but I didn't know if any of the members have come across a better supplier/alternative for bezels to suit the RevEd displays? I have a few different models in stock, but for now I would like to get a bezel to suit the AXE134Y (4 x 20) LCD.
Any tips/advice would be most welcome.
Thanks.
