After a lot of procrastinating, I decided to get started on my wooden mount. This is just a prototype.
I hate screws, they're easily lost and they can permanently screw up your project if you happen to strip them while they're still fastened. I decided a nice way to mount without screws is to use neodymium magnets. My magnets don't come in until later this week, so those won't get installed just yet. For now, its just a simple inclined board with neoprene rubber attached to the surface so the PCB doesn't slip and so that the terminals for the switches have something to sink into. The rubber has holes all over the place for screws because I used that particular piece inside the factory poker case before. I also had to dremel some pockets in the wood so that things like the dip switch could fit in.
Even without the magnets to "attach" the PCB to the base, the PCB remains fixed due to the rubber. I'm pretty satisfied with this early prototype - its nice having instant access to the PCB! I just unplug and pick it up.
The saw I was using was limited in its ability to cut thick pieces at an angle so instead of a solid base I have it split up into 3 legs. Ideally it would be one solid piece. Hopefully I can find a way to cut the wood the way I want to for the next mount.
Hope you guys like the idea. Shoot me some ideas if you have any =)
