Thinking about getting a Trellis to make a project I am working on a bit easier, but had a couple of questions first...
First off, what is a good way to mount it?? Can you use the board-edge mounts like are used in a lot of the Raspberry Pi projects? Or will this not work because of the keypad?
Second, Any ideas on how to label the buttons? The spacing looks close, so not sure I could label the buttons as part of the enclosure.....
Thanks for the help!!

Re: Trellis Questions....
There are lots of mounting options.
Edge connections will work, but the PCB and silicone keypad have four holes that you can use for mounting screws:
The PCB also has two large plated holes and four large pads at the edges. You'd be amazed how strong a mounting you can get with some solder and a few chunks of brass wire or shim stock.

Re: Trellis Questions....
Thanks for the reply... Looks like I have a few options available. I also found a tutorial on the learning system for a 3D printed enclosure that I could probably modify as well... if I had a 3D printer... :-)
