A very crappy touch panel device.
Our museum, Wings of History Air Museum, is planning to install 3 video kiosks in our various locations in our facility so that our visitors can view a selection of short videos pertinent to what is on display. We are using Raspberry PI computers and saw a configuration with a touch panel for control, showing the video on a separate big HDMI display. That seemed like a good idea, so we went looking for a touch panel. One of our folks picked the WaveShare Touch Panel and bought 3 "7 inch HDMI LCD" units. The units came completely unassembled, with no assembly instructions. The bezel around the display does not cover the edges of the panel, leaving electronics visible around the edges. One of the units simply crapped out when it was disconnected from the HDMI cable. In short, we are disgusted with our unfortunate purchase and are planning to find a reliable vendor and validate any replacement candidate, and it will NOT be from WaveShare.
