Nice one Chef!
I hope it all goes well and I'm sure the effort will be appreciated.
Did you use the VBB I mailed you about? Any good?

Plus, it's not about the expense of it all, if that was the case I could just stick the ring in a bunch of 50's.Leave a comment:

good for you, it's nice to see something original in this world instead of simply off the shelf plastic solutions to everything
I am sure you know your customer and it will be a big success
well done
one thought is it worth to have two boxes, one with the ring and one with like a twix or something and if during the period between delivering the box and unlocking the box if there are any changes in relations you can switch the boxes and voila....
Milan.
I figure that should be enough. Plus, the box isn't cheap once you start adding up the cost of the antique box, the components (lcd, gps, arduino main board + expansion shield, buttons, servo's, switches, wiring, battery packs, dc jacks etc.) I've never done anything like this before so have also invested in soldering irons/stands, circuit board holders etc. And so far it's taken around 2 months to get it done (after work when I have time) and so making a 2nd isn't really an option before xmas. I'll be happy to get this one done and looking/working as I wantLeave a comment:
