Claim:
1. An electronics module attachment system for use with a piece of material, the system comprising; an electronics module having an oblong shape forming first and second elongated ends, each of the first and second ends including an upper lip, a lower lip and an interior surface between the upper and lower lips, the upper and lower lips having upper and lower walls, respectively, the upper and lower walls and the interior surface defining a recess, the interior surface of the first end and the interior surface of the second end defining a distance measured along a central longitudinal dimension of the electronics module, the upper and lower lips defining outer end surfaces, the recess having a recess depth measured with respect to the central longitudinal dimension from the interior surface to the outer end surface, the upper and lower walls diverging from the interior surface toward the outer end surfaces, the interior surface being substantially parallel to the outer end surfaces at the central longitudinal dimension, and an elastic ring defining an inner diameter and having a radial thickness, the ring being removably attachable to the piece of material and the ring by trapping a portion of the material between the ring and the first and second ends of the electronics module, the distance between the interior surfaces of the recesses being substantially equal to the inner diameter of the elastic ring, the recess depth being sufficient to receive at least half of the radial thickness of the ring.
