| How would you mount the OSCAR USB Interface? |

| Lilwolf:
btw, what I've used on a few items is the white plastic things that you hammer in to hold down a cable. The ones that look like a ' n ' where you hammer a small nail on the left... and the cable goes under it. Well, I would snip the edge away from the nail and it works GREAT for holding down little boards. Just use 4 of them and it's in there tight without touching anything but plastic. |

Thanks for all the great ideas guys ... I decided to bite the bullet and just drill a small hole into the circuit board and mount it with PCB feet. I was worried that I might damage the board, so I was very careful and everything turned out OK. Thanks Again for all of the ideas .... good stuff here. MM |

Anti-static bags are for only storing electronics. --- End quote --- Hmmm, I had no idea. Wonder why mine hasn't fried yet... |

I've worked at a couple of different LARGE electronics manufacturing corporations. The best way I can think of is... HOT GLUE! (No joke. That's how they do it.) Also, they take a portion of the the extending wire and wrap it around a screw which they tighten down. |

You could also glue on PCB feet. Much safer IMHO since you could crack your PCB drilling it (or applying the screws), even if you manage to miss the circuit traces... |
