My mind went blank and I just went to work installing it.
One thing I noticed is that the key coder did not have the nuts on all the switches. Has anyone else ever gotten theirs like this?
I took the Vantec motor controller and added all the wires and tied them up neatly.
Then I made an L-shaped mounting bracket out of this old 4x4 post holder so I could attach the controller to the frame of my droid.
After a while Jayson came over to lend a hand and we hooked up the motor controler to only 12 volts for the first test. Here is a Vid of R2-CM's first movement done via remote.
We then hooked up the cheap $19.00 motor controller I got a while back for the dome but it only works in one direction, so now I have to find a better one.
After that a storm came rolling in so we packed up for the night. Come to think of it I was so into hooking up the remote that I never ate dinner LOL.

Hey Moose,
Congratulations on this milestone! You guys are making amazing progress in a very short amount of time.
Yes, my Keycoder came with four nuts in the apparent exact same positions, so I guess that's normal.
