Making the Wiring up to Snuff
April 16th Happy Easter!
Not much to do today, so I thought I'd face the inevitable and tidy up the mass of tangled wires hidden, in shame, under the layout.
If I were to tackle making a layout again (and I'm almost certain I will) I would take more time and care over the wiring. I feel that I planned out the actual technicalities of the task quite thoroughly - but the actual doing of the job was not my most methodical work!
Basically, I was cutting the wire at completely arbitrary lengths and fitting them in haste - they performed as they needed to, but were a right mess to look at!
So, today I set about gathering the wires into bunches relating to their purpose and then cable-tying them together at intervals along their length, as this was being done the varying lengths of wire became obvious, and it was just a matter of snipping the whole bunch, or half of each pair, to the length of it's shortest one.
The end result was far less baffling to the eye, and much less of a mess.
The attached image shows this, and indicates the wiring under the layout relative to its purpose above it.
