What do you think of my wiring?

[thewise1]

Call me over cautious but I just want to make sure everything is right.







So I got everything right?

the wire on the right in the first picture is almost touching that cap. I dunno if its the same signal but try to keep things away from each other, it will eventually bend that way (moores law)

It would look cleaner if you used thinner wire and stuck it though the holes.

Soldering looks neat though. Dunno anything about the circuit offhand.

Yeah I did notice it was very close when I looked at the picture, I fixed that.

I also used the best wire I had for power. I wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for the electricity to get through. I plan to use a smaller wire when I do stuff like memory pak and video wiring.

I'm just asking this right now so I can wrap it up in electrical tape.

Mmmmm, wiring.

But yeah, it looks correct to me.

Good point about selecting the proper gague, but dont just guess.

26 gauge copper wire will carry two amps with a large safety margin.

Wow, you could even use 28 gauge (IDE cable size) if it's not overclocked. But don't use IDE cable, it's stranded and not solid.

I'm not really farmiliar with wire gauge, I'm still new to the nitty gritty of electronics in general.

Luckily I have a digital electronics class this semester. It should really help.
