Control Panel

Most of the original control panel got removed in the tear down process.  A central part of the panel was the Meldas Display Unit and the switch and button panel.  I did retain the gauge and regulator panel as those controls will be re-used.  I elected to make a small central panel that contains the ever so useful E Stop button and added the MQL mist controls to it, regulator and pressure gauge.  The panel to the left of this small center section is likely to remain blank.

Right Side Panels    Center Panel    Power Panel

The master switch and other power controls will be mounted on the right hand stationary part of the cabinet.  I want the removable panel to have as little cabling connected to them as possible.  The Lenovo TinyPC is mounted on the top of the cabinet in a slide out bracket.  Wireless adapter fastened to the top of the PC case.  Left-hand switch below the Master Power is for the PC and Monitor.  The other switch will be power to the Acorn6 controller.  Room has been left in between in case another switch or item is needed.
