Screws and Struggles (Postbag #20)

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

Have some fun, just sellotape them in a line. I used to do this at toll Bridge, tape the coins in a long string stick it to your motorbike tank. Just pull it off and hand it over at the booth. The look on there face's priceless.

Actually, once I got the hang of it it went pretty fast!

[@SimpleElectronics]

I have a few coworkers into....shadier substances.... just pinch the ziplock tightly between your thumb and index and then slide them apart like you were snapping your fingers...give it a shot!

[@DustinWatts]

I'm from The Netherlands, those ziplock bags are part of our education ;) But these were pretty well sealed!

[@JonnyBergdahl]

It was indeed me talking to you about the screws, I pointed out it may be difficult to source them locally. The smallest I can buy in a store here is M3.

[@DustinWatts]

I like the idea. It is also a nice touch to have them included!

I'm pleased to see the Suez got unblocked.

[@DustinWatts]

Haha... these were actually older packages that were lying around. But still glad it is open again, was kinda worried :)

I Hate M2.5 and M2 screws as they are so small that I now need optical enhancement devices to see them :(

[@DustinWatts]

M2.5 is as small as I go. Ideally I would have used M3. But I wanted to keep the board as small as possible..

[@AJB2K3]

the little bags are cheaper and easeir then the little boxes i'm using :(
