Hello everyone,

I am wondering how all of you secure your boards within the trap, i'm new to adding electronics to me builds. Do you tape your electronic boards to the inside of the trap? Hot glue? Any advice is appreciated!

I like 3M double-sided automotive tape - stuff doesn't go anywhere unless you want it to. Hot glue is hit-or-miss, as it doesn't stick well to every surface.

Thank you!

You just attach the tape directly to the underside of the electronics board? It doesn't mess with it at all?

Not in my experience, no. The tape is an insulator, so you're not going to get stray current. You don't need to cover the entire backside with the tape, either - you can cut small squares and place it on spots where there's bare breadboard for the best stick. You may need to double or triple the layers of tape, depending on how tall the solder points are on the back of the board.
