With the last gremlin exorcised from the electronics project board, I’ve turned the workbench back to physical mode. During testing, I found that the limit switch was not in fact making contact with the linear actuator. I considered hacking it, but it was easier to tweak the design of the bracket and print a fresh version. The new new version includes a clip to trap the motor wires, and I also printed some additional clips to tame the wires on their way to the board. Once the linear actuator and its limit switch were secured by a couple of M3 screws, I captured all the wires under the clips and hot-glued the clips to the base structure. A little tidiness almost makes it look as if I know what I’m doing.
