DC Motor Controller Box

**DC Motor Controller Box**
This is a box to house a DC motor controller to control speed and direction of a DC motor. The controller bolts on the bottom of the box with four M3 x 6mm long screws. The lid bolts onto the top of the box with eight M3 x 6mm long screws. I used heat-set brass thread inserts for the mounting threads. On the controller there is a yellow light for “on” and two red lights for “forward” and “reverse”. I designed tubes that transfer light from the leds thru cover lenses so that they are visible from the outside of the box. A rocker switch sets; forward, reverse, or off. And a potentiometer controls the motor speed. I used panel mount female DC panel mount barrel jack for the external power connections from the power supply and to the motor.

**Assembly Instructions:**
Once all the components are printed out use super glue to attach the led tubes to the cover plate. Then glue the lenses to the tubes. Next use a soldering iron to install the heat-set inserts
