The case for TouchDRO in 2022?

I am printing now. I see optional 2 and 4 DB9 holes and an option for tach/ but not seeing a top cover/lid?

Re-uploaded above.

I have a Tab S6 I will try as well to see which suites me best. Will be comparing to a Ditron DRO I picked up for $59 last year during dropros blowout on ebay. I like physical buttons but I can see where a touch screen with glass protector is more durable plus the advantage of "plus" versions we can look forward to later on.

Would be interesting to see some sort of USB or wifi/Bluetooth physical button add on one day. There are always certain functions like "zero" and "1/2" that are nice to have in physical button form. Even some sort of API that can send these commands from another display or Pi would be nice as well. Picturing a cnc like pendant with just buttons and the display for soley graphical use.

There is no need for an API. I will be adding keyboard shortcuts for various buttons/commands. A keypad can be a custom HID that sends series of key chars. I.e. Alt+X+Z, etc.

That's a really smart and simple feature for those who want physical buttons

If not, I will open-source everything, and go do something else.

I hope it never comes to this Yuriy, your system is robust, flexible and supported. What you are doing is working at least from where I sit. Keep up the great work!

Just starting the DRO search for my RF-30 and came across this thread. Very informative, well-presented case for TouchDRO and your website is a two thumbs up Yuriy.
Great breakdown of information and best single spot DRO education I have found on the subject!
Generally speaking I’m not big into DIY systems and my last venture into the Android world was marginal at best. However that experience actually looks quite positive when compared to the failure rate of cheap Chinese digital electronics.

Running across the TouchDRO option actually made me smile, a choice outside of rolling the dice from an unknown China vendor, and continuing development with a support community makes for an easy decision.

Need to shop for scales and a tablet now.

Nice work and thanks for bringing this to the table so to speak.

Thank you for the kind words, Steve.

I'm having some technical difficulties (can't log into my CDN right now), so here are the STL files for now. I will upload them to the CDN when I get my authenticator re-synchronized.

A while back (last year Oct 2023) I bought the DYI kit
Item Name: DIY TouchDRO Kit w/Connectors
Item# WEB_KIT_WITH_CONNECTORS)

Shortly after I got it and started to build it I tried to print the STL that were on the website but they did not seem to fit the kit that I received. Do you have an STL file that you recommend for this kit?

I don't have STLs for that kit.
