Yessss !!! CLICKY BUTTONS !!!
I got sick of trying to hit dinky little screen buttons so I added a keypad. It uses a (ed - was typo) TCA8418, cheap and ultra-easy via an Adafruit breakout module running off I2C. Definitely the way to go. Wiring the keypad itself is tedious but a pcb will solve that.
The screen is much clearer and the lot will fit into a standard case. Much better !
As before, the Pn keys load/run programs from the sd card, otherwise programs can be sent from a PC.
Making progress..
