Hey, so I recently started an Arduino project messing around with face tracking and some small displays. I’m about a quarter of the way through if I had to guess, but am going out of town to visit family on the 7th (Tuesday) and will be flying. I’ll be there for about 2 weeks and don’t really want to put the project on hold until then, so I figured I would look into taking it with me.

After doing some research, my plan is to check a bag and then try to organize all the parts as best as I can, taking out any batteries, and then attach a little note explaining kind of what I’m doing, and I should be good.

I figured finding a thing to store and organize my parts would be as simple as looking through Amazon and then finding one that matches the sizes and number of parts I have; however, that has not been the case. Everything I have found has either not been big enough, big enough for the bigger parts but at the cost of taking out like 3 of the total spaces and not having enough for the rest, or just won’t be here before I leave.

Worst case scenario, I can just run to a sporting goods store near me and probably pick up a tackle box that will work alright, but I figured I’d ask some people who are a lot better and have been around this longer than me.

The ideal solution would have:

1. Enough storage for all the parts to fit neatly in their own compartments, the biggest being the 830 point breadboard which is about 6.5 x 2.12 x 0.35 inches.

2. Have a few extra compartments of varying sizes for parts that I may order while away.

3. Double as a good organization tool for this project and future projects.

4. Not take up too much space in a suitcase.

5. Arrive or available to buy in store before or on the 6th.

6. Have a transparent lid so all parts can be seen without having to open everything

I’ve attached pictures to the top and have the links to the parts under this. Any specific recommendations and/or links would be much appreciated.
