#138494 - subassembly
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Isn't I2C to be constrained within a box?

Well, yes...

An existing controller within a machine has an accessible I2C port, so the "module" would connect to this, still within the machine enclosure.
So I'm somewhat stretching the "within a box" part...

The task is supposed to be to add these buttons as a software-only update to the controller...

So this surely must be a sort of a subassembly

Yes - I s'pose so!

The nearest I've seen is this: http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/shop/I2C_...032058.htm
It's a standard LCD with a little module (a PIC, actually) stuck on the back to drive it - and it can also support a keypad.




[update]
This looks similar (but clunkier):

But I don't want the LCD - just a couple of buttons!
