Quoted from homebrood:Yes but a huge part of this is to wire all of the lights, switches, inserts, displays, and route them to all the right connectors, and creating a wiring harness without a plan can be a big deal! It needs to go to all the right lines so someone can actuallhy program things to work. Not just some glued inserts and screws to wood... or maybe it is easy or not or maybe...
I think the wiring is tedious, but not especially difficult. The difficulty is mostly in avoiding electromagnetic interferences, which is essentially keep the high power lines away from low voltage communication lines. Beyond that, it's hours and hours of crimping wires and documenting hardware addresses and troubleshooting notes (example: this switch connects to board id 2, bank 1, pin 3 via a blue wire with a black trace)
I think it took me around twenty hours to learn P3-ROC and wire everything? 95% of my switches and lamps were correct on first boot up. Only needed to switch a few hardware addresses in the software.
If I wanted my rats nest to look better maybe another 10 hours to obsessively manage the wires with a hundred little zip ties.
Tedious work, not difficult work
