How did you cut the rectangular slots on the box for the USB ports?
I've had to drill and then file but it's been a real pain, especially slots for RJ12 and RJ45 sockets
Are you using a 5v regulator to drop from 13.8 to 5v?
I used a small drill bit as a router and then used a small file to finish it.
When using a drill bit as a router you have to counteract the way the drill bit wants to go.
I am using a 5V regulator to go from 13.8V to 5Volt.
There is more room in the box for more goodies
I had to route the USB lead from the focusser board to the outside of the box and this can just be seen in the left bottom of the picture.
