Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any off-the shelf mounting solutions for those lovely ExpressPB miniboards?

I would think there would be a market for a set of mounting options for those boards.
For examples:

A simple project box with board holding screws in each corner.

DIN rail clips and appropriate slide-in channel

A box with slide-in tracks for the mini boards

A box with slide-in tracks and the ability to hold a mini board on the bottom or in the cover to which would hold connectors to interconnect the slid-in boards.

Just thinking out loud. . . .

PS - have you seen they now offer a MiniBoard pro service with a solder mask and silk screen layer?

Doh! - ya caught me!

Seriously, seems like if there were a stock box available for the miniboard size with standoffs that mated up to corner holes it would be a popular item.

Just sayin'. . .:p

Radio Shack sells something pretty close to that. But you have to make the board to suit the case, not the other way around in that senario.
