I need to some how mount my Espruino board to a piece of plexiglass without drilling a hole into the Espruino board. Will Velcro work? Does anyone have experience as to what method works?

http://www.espruino.com/Mounting and use "hot glue" on the mounting hardware. I used hot glue on everything due to the fact it can be removed easily.

Thanks for your reply. I purchased the side mounting hardware from Adafruit. If that doesn't work I will most likely use the hot glue gun method that you recommended.

I often use a cable tie if that helps.

Otherwise you could solder something to some unused pins (especially the whole row of non-GPIO pins at the opposite end of the board to USB). For example a ring crimp connector: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-ring-terminals/6881439/

@Gordon, can you please attach an image with cable tie example? Interesting how it looks like.
@d0773d, thought about PCB male (is it right name?)

but with long legs for corner pins: A15, B2, GND, GND

I don't have one to hand right now, but I literally just drill two holes in whatever I'm mounting to (either side of the Espruino board) and loop a cable tie around it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
