that's a good way to get density in a big box. Do you have a source for those terminal block connectors, and the screw connectors that go into them?
Even the AE knock-offs are really good. I just had to work with some DIN-rail mounted screw-terminal wiring (troubleshooting). Cable trunking, as usual, made access more difficult than I would've liked. I have scuffed fingers again
@Mickster That looks like a stack of thin things, right?
Seen stacks like that for pneumatic stuff too...
Does make me think about having a side port, if there are any extra P2 pins.
Would allow an easy connection to another box that connects on the side...
Looks like can just fit a 1.8" SPI LCD on the top board. Very tight fit, but appears can just squeeze it in...
Was thinking about touchscreen version, but leaning away...
Maybe try to get a couple slide switches and/or buttons on there too...

@refaQtor Does this RJ45 wiring look like close to what you'd want?
thanks
that is the pinout I am using. I usually use 1&2 for serial.
but, yeah, power and ground on those pins.
