Thanks for the reply Henry,

In looking on the webpage, I'm having a hard time finding the MX2 aluminum bay insert. I just need one that will fit the VK204-24-USB model (20x4). Could you point me in the right direction so I could order it please?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I've been looking thru this forum all day and looking at the products in the Matrix Orbital catalog section of the website and I have a question here.

I have a Cooler Master ATC 201 case which is silver, or aluminum. In looking through the gallery on what people have done already, I ...

Sorry to be such a pain Henry...

I just ordered the LK204-25PC. That is the only unit that will do the job for me so I could not go with anything else. My problem is my case only has 3 bays. (2 of which are already in use)

The LK204-25PC isn't that big, so I suppose I could physically alter my ...

Henry??

What do you think?

to take the actual display off of an LCD unit off the main board and using an extension or something, mount it in another place away from the board?

For example, take a double bay insert display unit, place it in a drive bay horizontally, use some kind of an extension to place the actual display ...

That is the answer I was looking for. Thanks Henry!

One final thing now before I order, what comes with the unit when I order it? Do I need any additional things besides a mounting brakets?(cables, etc.)And also, where should I order a keypad from? It doesn't look like Matrix Orbital is selling ...

I would prefer to control everything via keypad. The idea I get from the details section on that unit is telling me that I have to use software to control everything or a keypad. One or the other.

Henry or anyone else:

Correct me if I am wrong, but in reading the details on the LK204-25PC, it says that I can only control the GPOs thru software or a keypad and not both. Is this correct? I would like to control the fans and stuff thru a keypad, but is a software solution the only option?

Thanks for your reply.

I guess my final question now for Henry or anyone else who might possibly know...

Are there plans for a graphic or VFD serial display with high power GPOs to come out anytime in the near future. I would hate to buy the -PC and have a new one come out a few weeks later ...

So I would wire it up to the serial and parallel ports?

And this is with the LK204-25PC unit?

Thanks!

Cheeseman,

I might be getting the LK204-25PC, but I am still somewhat undecided. I may a new post a minute ago detailing what I would like to do. If you could help me out in designing a keypad for that, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks!

I like what I see out of the LK204-25PC, however, I was interested in knowing if any of the other Matrix Orbital units can do what this one can. I would prefer to have a graphical unit or a VFD unit. They just look better to me. Is there going to be something new coming out along these lines?



My ...

Cheeseman,

Is there any kind of an online tutorial illustrating how to setup a customized keypad? I am very new to this and trying to learn as much as I can.

Thanks!

Sorry if I sound stupid, I am pretty new to all of this.

What is -PC and LCDC? I assume that they are software applications for driving the display screen?

Thanks for the quick response.

That looks like it will do the trick. Now my next question is: is there something like that in a VFD or Graphical Display that will do everything that I want it to?

Thanks again!
