First build! A huge success!

Hey, how did you get the aixiz module to stay in there? I liked your idea better than the project box, it's easier to replace the battery with a flip-top lid instead of a screw on lid. It's much easier. So, how did you get the aixiz module to stop wobbling? Thank you!

At first I drilled a hold a little bit smaller than the aixiz module so I could try and make it stay by squeezing it in there. Make sure you slowly step up the bit size or you'll rip a big hole in the tin. That didn't work so then I put a rubber washer on the backside and superglued it to the can and the back of the module so I could easily screw the top end on the module in.

You might have better luck looking at this picture, its kinda hard to explain

Sorry for the low quality blurry pic, I just used my cellphone.

Alright, thanks! I'll try it. And yeah, haha I ripped a hole in my first tin, trying to drill a hole for the switch. It's a tiny switch, I thought hey, why not just go the fast way? Haha bad idea. But, I was wiser the second time around, and just stepped the bit size up, like you said. everythings assembled but the diode, it's coming this week. I'm excited!

Sounds great! I would love to see your finished product!
