Re: Things that new members need to know about electronics
I would emphasize good wire routing. The wiring system should somewhat resemble a system of streets and/or freeways (aerial view). Do not make every wire a straight shot between two points, but on the other hand, you usually don't need a 22 inch long wire to connect to a point 5 inches away. You get what I'm saying. Channel your wires neatly. Put them into thoroughfares.
