After seeing the elegant solution, [mention:539ed409b72441d4ae33bedbff74a60e:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07] , that [mention:dc11ece8204f479e8dce2a47a33b20d3:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] has come up with to arrange the elements of his project, I realized that in none of my iterations had I tried placing the box horizontally. So, I decided to give it a shot. I couldn't believe how much simpler everything became that way. In a short time, everything was well arranged and accessible, and there was plenty of space everywhere.

In the image above, you can see my first attempt with the box placed horizontally. While it's not the definitive solution yet because I aim to take advantage of the side rails, as Ralphy does, and possibly position the display above instead of below.

This development is good news for my project. However, the bad news is that today I injured my right hand at work, and I will be unable to exert efforts with that hand for a while. Fortunately, I'm not pressed for time with the project, so I'll take this opportunity to carefully review this solution on paper.

Nice unboxing and first prototype presentation!

I am still writing about the unboxing process and have not started building the prototype yet so I don't know which challenges I might face. Is it possible to use your library for driving the LCD? Thank you.
