Proton- Digital Instrument and Control Panel Touch Screen

This is probably a bad idea but I’ll throw it out there anyway. Since the Evo has a steep drop in the front under side, maybe you could mount it there…? We likely won’t be looking at it while riding, well, quick glances at least, but you’d still be able to utilize the touch screen and all it’s features. Just couldn’t see the speed as your riding. Lol, less than optimal, but it’s a thought.

I want a fancy way of checking my battery levels while I ride.

Wouldn’t a remote or at the very least a watch be adequate for that? Sounds like a bad idea to draw your attention away from the road to look at a display done at you.

That’s why for me I’m mounting it behind me and using it to change modes and store telemetry while i let other tools (like a remote or watch) give me quick data

Deadline for preorder? I’m indecisive as hell. (And broke atm)

I ordered one but just measured my deck and its 90mm wide and this device is 101mm wide so I’ll have quite a bit of overhang. Not sure if I can trim the extra of if it’s too much.

@Andy87 A spacer in this case would solve the problem, I can help you with that. @Skunk I’m performing some final testings on my prototype right now, once everything is done I will submit a batch order to the fab. I don’t know exactly when that will be, but my guess is sometime this week. @Battosaii The controller case can be trimmed down, I will try to reduce its size today. The actual circuit board is only about 87mm.

F… i did the same, i ordered the proton , what the trick to set tup the proton on the Evo ?

He says it right there we should be okay.

@FredXanadu I cropped the sides of the enclosure, it is now around 92-93mm. 52%20AM

Anyone know if this will this fit on Hummies deck?

@uigiroux What are the dimensions of that deck?

Would the screen be centered though if it was modified this way?

Not sure off hand… Can’t really check atm, was hoping someone knew…

Yes I will try to center the screen.

The device looks cool, but because I am (and I suspect many other leisure-time-engineers on here are too) quite OCD in disposition… a screen off center just looks wrong.

I understand, having read your earlier posts, why it turned out this way, but whilst I’d have a device this useful on my board, it would bug the hell out of me if asymmetrical.

Just my two cents

@Toughook Rest assured it will be centered and symmetrical. Those rendering are using an older version of the display. I will update the renderings today. New one HTB1KTByB2iSBuNkSnhJq6zDcpXaN

Cool ! Glad you’re changing it, you’ll sell loads more I reckon, and I might well be one of them… :grinning:

As soon I receive my deck I will make a detailed CAD model of it, if want I can share it so you can make a version that fits perfectly
