This little bracket attaches to a proto board holder, with holes for M3 inserts to mount the AD8310 log amp module:
Thusly:
The OLED display looks a bit faded, which seems to be an interaction between matrix refresh and camera shutter: looks just fine in person!
Not much to see from the other side:
I should have included an offset to slide it a bit forward; then I could mount it on the other end with clearance for the Nano’s USB port. Maybe next time.
