Touch screen controller for my mount

Description

I'm putting together a touch pad hand paddle for my mount. In addition to moving the mount it will have additional screens to flip through for other functions. I have it hooked up to a Raspi Pi now but the final micro will be a nano with bluetooth as I want everything to be wireless. The Pi will be the central controller with a couple of Arduinos to do the mount and focuser and possibly the filter wheel and weather station and dew control. The Pi has a copy of Mathematica on it very useful and communications from a remote computer is easy since the Pi runs Linux and X-windows can be sent over the net. So no 3rd party programs like teamviewer are required. The displays run around 100 bucks and the wireless keypad offered by Scitech is 300. And their's isn't touch
