I used the dimensions from happs website to layout button, joystick, and trackball locations. I then took that information and put all of my needed linework into autocad. First I measured the dimensions of my control panel box to make sure I know what my working area is. Well even though I've lost my artwork for the time being (stupid virus!) I can tell you how I laid mine out. I can't seem to find any useful tips or tutorials anywhere on creating custom CPO's.Ĭould anyone out there help a newbie out? Thanks.And maybe I'll kinda draw how I envision my panel overlay to look on paper to show off and see if it helps.Īlso, I have pretty good skills on wiring and computing, but I am a helpless newb when it comes to the construction and designing aspects of building this thing, so this may not be the last time I post here. I haven't a clue how to even create simple, smooth and consistent shapes, let alone how to do it with the correct measurements and sizes according to the placement of my buttons. Than I realized.my graphics processing skills suck. So I opened up Illustrator, opened up a new file with the dimensions, in inches, of my panel and that's where my progress ended. Just to show a few examples of what I'm kinda getting at I was looking through the "Control Panel Database" thread for some inspiration and really liked these: One thing I would really like is a simple but sleek and vibrant, and not too distracting, control panel art that is properly labeled with a bit of a "retro" flare.
