An Arduino Uno Adafruit Motorshield (v2.3) case in the design of a motorsport EMU (Engine Management Unit) for my racing simulation aluminium extrusion rig.

There are two variants, one for the 80mm aluminium extrusion width and one for mounting on flat surfaces.

No support for printing necessary.

Two versions are available:

My shield has the version 2.3. I cannot tell if other variants are compatible.

Mounting:

Please check the Arduino and Adafruit Motorshield manual in front.

  1. Mount the Case to the surface. In case of aluminum extrusion, apply the T-Nut to the aluminum extrusion and use the M4 flat head screws.

  2. Put the Motorshield on the Arduino Uno.

  3. Pass the motor and power supply single conducters/cables throu the "Plate" on the right opening. It may be helpful to guide them between the two curcuit boards.

  4. Apply all the cables to the terminal clamps of the Motorshield.

  5. Insert the Arduino Motor Shield unit into the Case, with the USB port oriented toward the opening.

  6. Slide the Fixtureblock into the Case.

  7. Guide the USB-B cable through the left side of the opening in the Plate and connect it. The cable can be removed and plugged in later still.

  8. Slide the Plate on the Case and apply the M3x10 hexagon socket head screws.

  9. The plate has on the bottom two cable tie slots which are meant to fixture the cables.
