Some questions about control panels
ArcadeSeeker962:
Thank you for clearing that up for me Vigo, that will make my project a lot easier. In that case, the I-Pac is my decision for an interface! Now I just have to figure out how many different colored gauge wires I'll need for my control panel...

Of these four options, only the third one is stranded and therefore good for crimping.
The rest are solid core.
It also looks like the first two don't have any insulation. This can cause accidental short circuits.

Great call, Greg.
Looks like an excellent assortment of 24 gauge wire--also available on Amazon:

NOTE: Make sure you have wire strippers that go that small. Many only go down to 22 gauge.

You asked earlier about wiring information.
Not sure if you've seen this thread:

The wiring videos are a little dark/hard to see, but the explainations are great.
