Build the footswitch (part 3)

To complete the build, I added 6 little feet under the board.
I used cheap end cap of shutters as short feet. For taller feet I added wine bottle plastic caos (I'm trying to keep low the bill of material).

Please note: the compilation process required more time on Raspberry than on my i5 laptop
