<div dir="ltr"><div>I'm making a keypad for the access control system at the Boxshop, and i thought a fun idea would be to have the numbers be glowing in the middle of a clear window into the room that the keypad is for(numbers themselves would probably etched into a piece of clear plastic that's lit from the edges). Then people would touch the numbers and the sensing would be done by a capacitive touchscreen<br>
</div>I didn't have much luck googling for a touchscreen that you could just buy, so i was wondering if anyone had any experience buying/hacking out of a cheap or broken tablet/making one?<br><br></div>
