Re: Canbus pros and cons

We found that it made the wiring much simpler and neater. Just be sure to get a good crimper, extra ends, and absolutely test every wire made both physically and electrically.

A down side is if one of your wires fail, the whole bus fails.

Here's our e-board from 2010. 8 Jags on a two sided lexan panel. Just plug it in and go. Something we are considering for this year is maybe adding some strain relief to the connections as a precaution. Here's a better pic..
