Chapter 4: Touchscreen
Figure 4-2
Front of Touchscreen with Bracket
Standoffs/Spacers
Standoffs or spacers need to be used between the mounting bracket and the inside surface of
the payload structure, where the touchscreen is being mounted. You can either use the sup-
plied spacers and thru-holes to mount the screen, or you can weld user-supplied standoffs to
the inside of the payload structure surface, in which case the screw heads would not be visible
from the outside.
!
WARNING:
Use standoffs or spacers to prevent pressing the touchscreen too
hard against the mounting surface. Excess pressure can cause delayed, incor-
rect, or no response when the touchscreen is touched, or possibly break the
screen’s glass. The standoffs ensure that the gasket is compressed, but the
touchscreen is not stressed. See the following figure.
