Wow.  If that's the case, the standards are really going downhill.   :laugh2:

I considered busting out a copy of OrCAD to create all of the diagrams for my machine.  Had I done so, the wiring may have been a little cleaner.  I may still do this after seeing yours.  In fact I think I have to now....

I used Visio to create those schematics, as well as the prints and .dxf files for the CPs of the Beast. Great little program. I've never gotten my hands on any CAD software...

Masking tape gets funky over the years: dries out & gets crumbly, gets gooey & yucky, Sharpie or ball-point pen bleeds/fades/spreads, etc. I used to use masking tape & pen for all sorts of labeling, but no more!

I have some that has been there ten years without a real problem.  Yeah, it dried all out, but it's still there and the Sharpie didn't fade.

We aren't building airplanes here.  If we were, as mentioned above, we'd do the job right by using colored wires and putting a schematic in a plastic bag taped inside the device.  Using labels is a shortcut.  Let's not pretend it's the best method.   ;D

Dang it! I was thinking of doing that on A Little Rage!
Since you dont like that idea, is it safe to say that I didnt steal it from you?
