Mounting the Case
Installation depends on what exactly you want to do with the touchscreen. The first release has
two separate temperature sensors on long wires. The simplest thing is to lay the touchscreen
on the table for testing purposes and use a cable access port to bring the cables inside the
enclosure. However, the air quality VOC meter should be close to the top of the enclosure to
get a good reading. We’ve had good luck mounting the case near the top of the sides on the
left or right.
If you purchase a 3D UPfitters enclosure, it will come pre-cut to place the touchscreen case at
either the top left or top right near the front.
If you’d like to mount the touchscreen on your enclosure, the STL for a drill template is
available at the bottom of the main product page. The holes labeled S1 and S2 will enable you
to bring the sensor cables into the enclosure hidden behind the case for a cleaner look.
Note that holes will be added to the fan controller in future versions. While we don’t like having
to drill holes, this is the least bad of the available solutions. We will make every e
ff
ort not to
change the holes' location; future directions force later versions to not be compatible with this
hole pattern. If you are squeamish about leaving holes in your enclosure, you’ll probably want
to wait until later versions are released in the latter half of 2022.
