Attach the RFID antenna to the top of the box with Velcro.
A set of extra long female headers provides enough length
to hold it above the wires of the LCD circuit. You can see
the inside of the box in Figure 9-22.
Mount the potentiometers to the top of the box, held in
place by their mounting nuts. Mount the LCD screen to
the top of the box using Velcro or double-stick tape on the
side of the screen itself. A tab of Velcro on the bottom of
Arduino holds it nicely in place on the bottom of the box
as well.
Once you're done, you've got a handy Twitter reader for
your desk, as shown in Figure 9-23. Write your favorite
Twitter users to a series of tags so you've got them handy
to check at a moment's notice. You've made a connec-
tion between tangible identification using the tags, and
network identification using the Twitter feed.
