Step #1: Create parts in SketchUp.
- Use a a scale or, preferably, a vernier caliper to measure the parts you already have, then recreate them in SketchUp.
- I used an Arduino clone (induinoX).
- When creating the board in SketchUp create only the big parts that stick out to save time.
- Create the chassis in the shape you prefer.
- You can create slots by subtracting the slot's shape from the chassis.
