✨ Originally Designed for OpenSauce 2026

This mount was created as part of an interactive demonstration for the DigiKey booth at OpenSauce 2026, where an M5Stack Dial is used to control an Adafruit Sparkle Motion LED controller.

The rotary encoder and touchscreen provide an intuitive interface for changing LED animations, colors, brightness, and effects while keeping the controller securely mounted to the workbench.

Whether you're recreating the demo or building your own custom workstation, this mount provides a clean, professional way to integrate the M5Stack Dial into your project.
