The most important part of any project is documentation, which I tend to leave till I'm forced to do it. That time has come! I'm busy putting together all the info to recreate and modify what I've done. Also busy learning about uploading youtube videos - my uploads take forever!

I'm happy with the 128x64 OLED remote display mounted in the Altoids tin, I can remove the nRF24l01+ board and place it in the tin when the thing is stored (like in my pocket!). A square sticker with a cutout for the display covers up the rough cut opening.

I also think the Trinket mounted directly inside the Fluke 17B worked out great. The mounting holes allow for a very secure mounting.

The GameBoy Advance dongle could be mounted better, all the components are just place inside a basic box with just the wires attaching to the boards holding everything in place. It works but I think I might sacrifice one of my Gameboy Advances and mount a trinket inside permanently.

The dongle that connects to the Digitek Meter was just left on the breadboard and stuck in a clear food container. I placed a power switch on it so I didn't have to take the sealed lid off all the time. This would be better if the trinket was also mount inside the meter.
