Now that I have the code all but ready and my tilt switches arrive tomorrow, it's time to start building.

I just couldn't make the Altoids Smalls (been calling them minis) tin work, so I went to a larger tin. With that I chose one of the Penguin caffeinated mint tins I have laying around instead. I grabbed one of my mint-tin protoboards and added the battery holder and female headers for the Trinket. I also placed the LED but haven't soldered it in place until I can drill the hole in the lid and better position it. There are little rubber project feet on the bottom of the board to keep the components from shorting on the inside of the tin.

The Trinket just barely fits height-wise with the use of headers but I just can't bring myself to solder the Trinket directly into a project .

But it's looking good and I have my first photos for the project.
