Planning your controller enclosure before you start drilling can save a lot of time—and expensive mistakes. In this week's Twinkle Tips Friday, I'll show you a simple way to create a paper template for your controller backer board and transfer the mounting locations for your power supply before you ever pick up a drill.
We'll cover how to measure your enclosure, size a template for your backer board, transfer mounting hole locations from your power supply, and lay everything out so you can visualize the finished controller before assembly. I also share a couple of inexpensive material options, including a cutting board from Walmart that's perfect for many controller builds.
Whether you're building your first controller or looking for a cleaner, more organized layout, this simple planning step can make your next build much easier.
