My Control panels will use Berretthill.com touch toggles for all the switch controls, uncouplers, and even room lights.

I started by taking a number of phone shots looking straight down on the area for the panel

Next I realized I would need to change the actual proportions of the area to fit a useful sized panel for the controls, done in Photoshop.

I then traced the compressed photo composite, and smoothed things out

Then I photographed the tracing and put it in Photoshop to do vector final track layout the width needed for the controls etc.

This completed diagram will be printed out to size for the panel, and the touch toggles (seen below) will be attached to the back of the paper and will show through indicating direction

Here is how they would work showing through the completed paper for the panel.

In a future post, after I get all the touch controls in place, I will put up a fully glowing panel.
