  • Depends upon the intended use, however some people may find some sort of a prototyping layer useful to have available.

     

    Most of my dev boards (Intel Galileo, Atmel Xplained mini/pro, Arduino, etc) are headless and require a host machine, so I would have perhaps have kept the display and keyboard in the original dock allowing either it or a laptop to be connected to the lunchbox depending on the dev board in use.

     

    Inside the lunchbox there would be a PSU, a breadboard area, a digital voltmeter module, some sort of I2C LCD or OLED display, a LED gooseneck (to shine some light on the matter), perhaps some form of peg-board around the edge of the box for 'helping hands' to be inserted into, then compartment storage areas to hold various components and cables.

     

    However this could be contained in a separate lunchbox to the one made in this episode.
