where did you fasten your 808 comms board?

at a bit of a loss as to how to how/where to mount the usb comms board in the case. was thinking i could hot glue it to the board to save drilling the board which scares me a bit its pretty crowded. then cut a small section out of aluminium case for the usb cord. how hae you guys done yours?

mine i just cut a hole the size of the usb plug and forced it in doesnt go anywhere LOL

sorry man im not getting it . you just cut a hole and push the plug thru but how is the actual usb board secured to the 808 pcb? in the nvram instructions theres a nice pick of a neat install no doubt vl400 made but im stuffed if i can see where theres room to safely drill.

Its not fastened to the ECU PCB at all - like you say, its far too busy to be drilling holes in a multilayer PCB!

The two standoffs included can be used to mount to the ECU case in any location that suits the ECU mounting. An example location..

I thought I'd chime in...
I know the emulator adaptor is in back to front just did it quick for photo, lol might make it go faster in reverse!

Well, a little off topic as you are talking about VL400s boards, but I homebrewed one like this the other week.

It was a try of a new method with a small board, located with epoxy... didnt turn out quite as straight or pretty as I hoped (especially the usb hole - told my mate who was doing the fabricating " cut out this whole square", and got him to remove the mounting part of the case and its solid and workable.

I'll continue to stray off topic and post a pic of one of mine.
This is an ebay CP2102 TTL level board. I just hot glued it to the top of one of the ICs.
