ART WORK ON HOME MADE DETECTOR

[daverave]

that would be great idea to set up graphics thread....i just want increasing/decreasing curve as seen on a lot of commercial detectors and the normal 1-10 numbers around volume control...is there any freeware that can do this ???

What kind of graphic are you thinking of for tuning and volume up and down? The P-Touch has a wide and varied character set that is scalable. I'll try to find a site for that for you to see. The labels will stick to film or the substrate behind the film.

You do not need special or sophisticated tools.

Such graphic can you draw by using simple and widelly awailable tools as MS Paint:



At back side put duble-sided adhesive tape, and front protect by transparent adhesive foil
and you have self-adhesive "plastic-laminated" control front end for your apparatus.

I use a P-Touch labeler by Brother and clear label tape in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". It uses the TZ series of label tape cassettes and they come in a variety of widths and colors. It prints multiple lines of text depending on font size and tape width. It is self adhesive and very durable. I find the 6 and 9 point fonts to be most useful for labeling controls on my BITX 20A ham radio and on my CHANCE PI detector.

are the labels like thin foil or like the old dymo type thick labels ????

The labels are very thin and self adhesive, not like the ugly DYMO embossed labels.

yes pls show some examples

You can GOOGLE 'Brother P-Touch Labeler' and see examples of the label quality on their site.

I am working on posting some PIX of my completed CHANCE PI with those labels but have to reduce the pictures megapixels before I can post them.

yes pls show some examples

To draw circle with MS Paint in different divisions, you can use circle division template from this site:

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/gra...zers/piechart/

So you can draw your own front elements like this:



and using your elements create in MS Paint your own Front design:

Dave, mine version of Radiofactory is Russian translated... I do not know where keeping English version you could take if you need I will share some my FPL files for the soft I made and you will be able to begin make own decal... Radiofactory is simplest soft to use IMO.
