5-Channel Servo Controller & Robotics Console
The RoboBox 5-Potentiometer Servo Controller is an expanded, portable desktop console built specifically for robotics makers, 5-DOF robotic arm testing, hexapod/quadruped servo alignment, and multi-knob macro control.
This enclosure features 5 independent rotary potentiometer channels, an OLED screen cutout for real-time angle display, an integrated 18650 battery holder, a rocker power switch, and a USB-C charging port for fully wireless, desktop testing.
⚡ Technical Features
Multi-Axis Control: 5 independent rotary potentiometers for simultaneous 5-DOF motion or multi-servo calibration.
Visual Telemetry: Dedicated panel cutout for a 0.96" I2C OLED display to monitor live servo angles, PWM signals, or battery status.
Integrated Wireless Power: Houses an internal 18650 Li-ion battery paired with a TP4056 USB-C charging module for untethered operation.
Durable Fastener Design: Reinforced mounting posts designed for M3 brass heat-set inserts to ensure reliable, repeated assembly and teardown.
Customizable CAD Source: Includes the complete parametric Autodesk Fusion 360 source file to easily adjust component tolerances, hole spacing, or mounting layouts.
🛠 Bill of Materials (BOM)
Component | Quantity | Description |
Microcontroller | 1 | Arduino Nano / Pro Micro / ESP32 (or MCU of choice) |
Potentiometers | 5 | Rotary Potentiometers (10k Ohm recommended) + Knobs |
OLED Display | 1 | 0.96" I2C OLED Display Module (128x64) |
Power Switch | 1 | KCD1 Miniature Rocker Switch (ON/OFF) |
Battery & Charger | 1 | 18650 Li-ion Battery + TP5100 USB-C Charger Module |
Fasteners | 4 | M3 x 10mm Hex Socket Cap Screws |
Threaded Inserts | 4 | M3 Brass Heat-Set Inserts |
3D Printed Parts | 3+ | Base Body, Top Lid, and Knurled Potentiometer Knobs |
🖨 Assembly & Print Tips
Print Settings: Recommended PLA or PETG with 3 perimeters/walls to ensure high thread strength around screw mounts.
Infill: 15% – 20% (Gyroid recommended for vibration resistance and lightweight durability).
Supports: Minimal supports required—only for the side rocker switch cutout and USB-C port opening.
Heat-Set Inserts: Press M3 brass heat-set inserts into the lower body mounting posts using a soldering iron set to ~220°C.
Color Scheme: Dual-color print (e.g., bright top plate with a neutral base) highlights the embossed "THE ROBOBOX" branding.
