Does anyone who uses the Inkbird IPB-16S plug and play PID controller have an example of how you have that mounted to your brew stand?

I am looking to mount mine to that 36" wide stainless steel commercial kitchen style rolling table/cart. I'm pretty handy, so I'm sure I can figure something out. Just curious to see what others have done.

My main goal is to mount it so the keypad is easily accessible and the temp display is in plain sight. Previously I had the controller mounted to the side of the stand. At countertop height it wasn't very ergonomic. I'm thinking about getting a cheap articulating computer monitor arm from Amazon so I can move it around.

Here are a few pics of how I mounted mine to my stand. I attached a 24” piece of strut to my stand to raise it to a comfortable height. The PID is attached to a plywood mounting plate that is bolted to the strut. It’s not the most elegant but it works well for me!
