So, in the first project log I talked about the mounting plate I made for the beaglebone and the breadboard. I printed the first design and I was unsatisfied with how the breadboard fit, also the screw holes for the beaglebone were not deep enough. I keep tweaking and printing new iterations of the design, until I got it to where I like it, I'm probably going to tweak it a bit more so its perfect but for now I got it pretty good.

Here are the iterations:

Iteration 1

Iteration 1 test:

Iteration 2, in this version I introduced wiring holes, made the screw holes for mounting the beaglebone deeper, and tweaked the breadboard mount to accept more types of half size breaboards :

iteration 2 test fit, the screw holes for the beaglebone while deeper were too hard to thread all the way down to clamp the Beaglebone in place, I attempted another print with tweaks to the screw hole size but it still was too hard to thread them all the way down. I didn't want to make the holes for the screws too much bigger because I want the screws to sort of thread into the plastic and tap the plastic as they thread.

Iteration 3 brought the final improvements I required to be satisfied with the design of the mount. With interation 3 I raised the height of the beaglebone and the Breadboard so there would be more clearance underneath the beaglebone to run some more wires. also the heights were adjusted so the breadboard is the same level as the beaglebone pin headers. Also in this version I came up with a solution to the screw threading issue, I made some spacer/washer parts that go on the M3X10mm screws I have to short their effective threaded length.

Iteration 3:

Finished mount.

That's all for now, stay tuned as the project progresses further!
