Hi, On the P1AM-PROTO, is a mechanical drawing available that shows the dimensions of the front panel opening, the position of the circuit board with respect to this opening, and the "safe area " on the board to position components that protrude through the opening so they do not interfere with the plastic housing? I'm thinking about building a custom board and front panel with some buttons, LEDs, and isolated I/O to fit inside the P1AM-PROTO and don't want any of those components to interfere with the P1AM-PROTO housing when the board is placed inside the housing. Thanks, Glen

    Below is a drawing of the front faceplate. There are silk-screened areas on the bottom/solder side of the P1AM-PROTO board that show where components will interfere with latches. Top/comp side in those areas are normal restrictions.

    A few notes from our mechanical engineer:

    The 5.70mm dimension is to the comp side of the board.

    The dashed area is a break away area if you need more room.

    The opening is as tall (14mm) to take care of an Ethernet connector.

    Perfect! Thank you!

    Edit: I found the tick marks on the silkscreen layer that correspond to the opening too.
