Artemis Weapons Panel V2
A custom-built helm control panel that is touchscreen for Artemis Starship Bridge Simulator.
Overview
After testing out the first control panel for weapons, which was dials and switches and buttons (very retro), i had an idea to try a touchpanel based on lcars type asthetics. I thought this might be a bit more emersive and likely alot of fun to try. I'm going to try to back light the panel with LEDS that should show through the non black parts of the prinout. Hopefully the touch sensitive buttons will work thorugh the glass or plastic or whatever i end up using.
Technical Details
The panel will work using copper pads attached to the back of a printout of the panel and attached to the touch sensitive pins of the ESP32, probably going to need a S3 as they have more touch sensitive pins available. I need to experiment with the material for the panel, i'm leaning towards clear plastic but have got to test out how thick i can have it for the touch pads to work.
