I have very limited experience with electronics, but I am confident I can figure this out. I would like to wire up a few of these Voltmeter Gauge Testers, connected to a potentiometer to provide feedback from the knobs. The current will only be used for the readout and maybe some led's, but I would like to be able to have the displays change by turning knobs on the panel. I am planning on running it all off of a pc power supply (12v), am I way off base here?Open to ideas on how to get some digital gauges working as simply as possible.Button Panel - I have just started the design, still need to work out all of the labels and graphics in Illustrator.Simple mockup - Bottom and top panel will be 24 x 36". I will make the box out of Particle board and brace the bottom panel. I may also wire up different LED zones for the different button clusters. In my mind it looks like this...ButtonsAdditional details: 100 12v switches (80 with LED)5 Voltmeter Gauge Testers5 potentiometers (not sure what to get)2 LED back light stripsI plan on mounting everything on clear Lexan and having the control graphics printed by a sign provider like this.I will mount a digital photo frame loaded with NASA footage and pics on a clear top panel and fill the space behind with a bunch of old laptop motherboards and a LED strip.Any advice is welcome, thanks! via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2EoykgK
