Have written about this before, but it bears repeating: A blog is not a real blog if it doesn’t let other people post. Can you write about touchscreens.

"I was very pleased to find this site.I wanted to thank you for this great read!!
I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post."

This is a pilot project using UPB technology and also PLC controls. I would appreciate any input regarding integrating touchscreen controls to this project.

If anyone knows of a touchscreen that is LAN based or wireless I would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks for the heads up on these!!
I did find some useful tips that I would have otherwise never knew about.

Hi,
Great post! Thanks for the information

This is really appreciable to the creation of modern technology named Touchscreens.It makes easy to control any project.

It is very cool that modern technology is fast developing and making our lives here on earth with easy access to the whole world with just a touch of a screen. Having to integrate touchscreen interface with the project is something to look after. I will have to dial and ask some people about their great ideas as well.

My specific need at this point is to find touchscreens for a project I am currently involved with.

My specific need at this point is to find the best touchscreen for a home automation project I am currently working on.

I really find the good product on DIY Home automation. There are about 3500 home base products and product listed here are among those product. Really like the site and look for the home base product on this site.

I have found very useful information in the comments post by SmartyPants. Thanks for your information. I hope allied was also like this one.

A touch screen sensor is a clear glass panel with a touch responsive surface. The touch sensor/panel is placed over a display screen so that the responsive area of the panel covers the viewable area of the video screen. There are several different touch sensor technologies on the market today, each using a different method to detect touch input. The sensor generally has an electrical current or signal going through it and touching the screen causes a voltage or signal change. This voltage change is used to determine the location of the touch to the screen.

Hello,

My first thought is that you can use a normal touchscreen PC. They are very much like tablet PC's, but without the pen and handwriting recongition. Used or older models can be had for very cheap on ebay these days. It would be easy to supply power to the PC over your low-voltage wiring, and the cat5 would be your LAN connection. Mostof these PC's don't even come with a keyboard, they rely on an On-screen keyboard and therefore are very slim. I'm sure you can find a model that would look right at home as a controller on/in your wall.

The customization possible when using a normal windows PC is basically limitless .. whereas a turn-key touch screen will have limitations you have to consider (programming ability, input/output, memory, cost, etc).

If you still want to go the route of a manufactured touchscreen controller.. you could try something like the LeopardII. This interfaces with a PC over a serial connection (the cat5 could be used for that), and does have to be programmed. It can also output X10 directly with a PSC05 ... so you could have it send X10 signals that your custom system could interpret as commands.

If I were you, I would go in the direction of a windows-based touch screen PC. but I will also send one of my friends to this thread. He is a bit more knowledged in all things Home Automation and I am sure he would have additional suggestions for you to consider. Stay tuned for his response

Hope this helps
