I'm little confused on how I am supposed to acquire an enclosure for an arduino hooked up to a touch screen display.
There are many tutorials showing how to connect arduino to a touch screen, but none of the resources show where to get an enclosure/case in order to protect the board/make it look better.
I've tried searching for "arduino touch screen enclosure" in google and amazon, and I either get irrelevant search results, or show enclosures for the rasp pi?
I'm shocked that there's not way more resources on this as I imagine it's a very common need.
Is your problem finding electronic enclosures, or enclosures for a specific touchscreen (hint: they come in different sizes).
The usual solution is to buy a generic enclosure and make a cutout for the display if the touchscreen gets a lot of use. If the touch aspect is rarely used, I'll very often enclose the entire thing in an enclosure with a clear door. The display can be read easily and the door only needs to be opened when you need to use the touchscreen. Those enclosures get pricy pretty quickly though.
Companies such as SeeedStudio have packages that comprise the arduino, display and enclosure all in one.
Hi there. Not sure about the touch screen element but Hitaltech made a custom enclosure for me. It might be worth enquiring! From their website:
'We develop, mould and print enclosures to meet your requirements, with separate wiring compartments, tailored knock-outs for input and output cable glands, and a range of top and face panel options.'
