Any tips for building one (other than to be careful and don't short anything out)?
This is perfect. When I build them, I use a 3-position switch for the Disable and Autonomous function instead of using two switches. It will work fine with 2 switches though.

It's really not difficult to make ... and even if you do screw up, chances are you wont completely fry your OI. I've accidentally shorted the wrong pins a few times, and we've never lost an OI. We had one start acting weird ... but a reboot fixed it right up.

Good luck.
