Summary

Made a Jack Frost (Rise of the Guardians) Halloween costume for son which included a staff. The staff was made out of 1/2 inch PVC pipe, and this attachment holds an Adafruit RP2040 Prop-Maker Feather which we used to run an LED light strip covered with lines of transparent silicone to give it a "glow from within the wood" effect.

Has screw holes to attach to pipe, but fit is tight enough without.

Also a less-than-elegant cover, which provides enough room to stack a lithium-ion battery on top.

Cover is a bit fiddly to get on, but intended to be tight and allow removal only for servicing or if something goes wrong, and not to fall off in use. There's also a hole for a button that can be wired to the Feather (we used it as an on-off switch).

I used a 12mm Latching Push Button Switch like these:

Note that the leads for the button switch will need to be bend sideways to fit with a needle-nose pliers.

Case provides easy access to the USB C port for battery charging and software upgrades without needing to open the cover, so it was actually taped down for greater security.
