Awesome job! The neatness of the wiring is great. Not everyone understands the vaue of it but in the real (working) world where someone is paying for a wiring job that is what they want to see. One sugestion: we have started using wire duct, McMaster Carr P/N 75835K74. It takes up some space but it makes wiring and changing soooo much easier. It eliminates the need for custom PWM cables. I would also highly recommend labeling the wires. Our labels are determined by the line number that they start at on our schematic so they can be easily found there. This is helpful also when you have some components far away from the electrical panel.

One question: How are you isolating the C-Rio? We use Lexan but yous seams to be mounted on aluminum.

Your wiring is awesome! Even when we spent a good week planning our board and wire routing it still wasn't that neat and we ended up with bundled wires. The metal you used for the board looks like a nice alternative to polycarb and having to drill holes.

We use 1/16" rubber adhesive backed rubber sheet. It's underneath the cRIO.
