A Customized Panel for the Infrared Remote

When I ordered the first batch of materials for the kit, I was unsure how many units would be sold. So we put small orders and were never successful in getting a manufacturer to make customized panels for our infrared remotes. Now we are preparing a new batch of inventory, and I think it's a chance to make the panel more stylish and intuitive.

I was also inspired by Igor Dobec's post on the Template for Remote. So before I approach some designers, I made the precise measurements of the panel and want to share the design materials here. Maybe you can get some better ideas. It could become a fully customized plastic panel for future users or a sticker that can be printed to cover your old remote.

Of course, there are many factors/constraints to consider:

• The symbols should be simple to print clearly in a small area

• It's better to be symbolic and irrelevant to a specific language

• The remote will be used for both Nybble and Bittle, so they should be generic for different skills. (see the code section below)

• The style of the symbols should be consistent

Let's see what will come out of the community!💡
