Isn't I2C to be constrained within a box? Well, yes... An existing controller within a machine has an accessible I2C port, so the "module" would connect to this, still within the machine enclosure. So I'm somewhat stretching the "within a box" part... The task is supposed to be to add these buttons as a software-only update to the controller... So this surely must be a sort of a subassembly Yes - I s'pose so! The nearest I've seen is this: http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/shop/I2C_...032058.htm It's a standard LCD with a little module (a PIC, actually) stuck on the back to drive it - and it can also support a keypad. 
[update] This looks similar (but clunkier): http://www.tern.com/portal/co...tentid=862 
But I don't want the LCD - just a couple of buttons! |

| COTS Pushbutton with I2C Connection? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Something like this, perhaps ? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| No - not COTS | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| can you point us to an equivalent... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| subassembly | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| SMbus...? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| why not make? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| because | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| OK but I still don't know... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Outside the box | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| sure, but | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Qprox devices | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Again - not COTS | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Look at these possibilities... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| That's the kind of thing - any other suggestions? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| 2 3 & 4 | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| I don't think this is what Andy wants... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Oh well..... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Well,... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| just remembered | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
A bit like QPROX | 01/01/70 00:00 |
