How to Secure the Circuit Board for Circuit Bending

"AMANDA CLAIRE: So, now, because I really don't need to get under that circuit board again, I just need it to get under there to install that switch, I've soldered my three terminals, I might as well screw that circuit board back into place just to kinda keep everything kind of nice and tidy. And remember, you don't really want too many things floating around all over the place and loose wires and the circuit board loose because, it's really easy sometimes for important contacts to sort of break, and then you have to kind of figure out what happened and kinda get back where you were. So here we go, I'm just looking for the other screw. I'm just going to put these two screws back into the circuit board where they were. Remember, these are connecting the circuit board to these little plastic posts that happen to be inside this particular gadget. So now, that's kind of nice and tidy. It's not going to go anywhere. It makes use happier to kinda work with it. Here, we still have these two exposed wires. We have to solder these to these two points that we found when we are exploring the circuit. But we can sort of have a look at what this looks likes from the front. And right, so here's our switch and it's installed. Switch has got two positions you can see and that's cool. And we've got one of those wires connected where it needs to be in the circuit board and we'll do the other two, then we'll close it up and we'll see how it works."
