Cool project. The "screen in the marquee" thing will be very nice.

If you want, I can have a play in Autocad and make you a button layout using the smaller buttons. If you do let me know what layout you want I can draw it and scale it to suit the buttons. There are plenty of layouts slagcoin.com if you haven't seen them. Have you got a project announcement yet bud?

Wow. This project is going to be AWESOME. Rotating screen in such a small footprint with an LCD in the marquee??? I can't wait to see this thing. How thick is the material you are going to use? I'm guessing 1/2" since you say the CP is 8" and the overall width is 9" but I thought I'd ask. :cheers:

Rotating 6.4" LCD screen in 8" inside cabinet width, here's the rendering in parallel projection so we can see both sides correctly. The black circle not only represents the radius of the rotating screen, it's also used to cover up the empty areas in the bezel in either positions. I even had to make rounded corners in the display area of the bezel otherwise you see inside the cab.
As for the LCD marquee... well I tried for two days to make it work, however it seems I either got a dead unit or a third unknown undocumented controller, which means I might as well have a dead unit. :hissy:
The sides are actually 5/8" MDF. I was planning on using 1/2" but I already had 5/8" panels and T-molding.com only had white 1/2" T-molding when I ordered. So it's going to be 5/8"MDF for the sides, making the cab a bit wider than expected. I may change my mind however, since 5/8" might looks too "fat" relative to the size of the cabinet. The rest of the panels, however, are 3/8" MDF to make the cabinet lighter.
Next on my list is cutting a mock-up control panel including the elevated 1/4" edges of the side panels in order to do some real-world play testing. I also have to do rounded corners + T-molding tests, I don't want to cut the sides yet until I know everything will go smoothly.
I also need to do some test cuts into the T-molding itself, cutting a clean coin slot in the middle is going to be a challenge to say the least. All my hand-made cuts so far look like crap. :P
In short, lots of tests to do before I can work on the actual cabinet.... :blah:
