Another SE8C almost complete...
Well today I started the process of making another five (5) SE8C boards. The process is relatively easy now that I have made three of them.
Another four to go and then it will be onto wiring all the push buttons for the fascia's. Jas...
Good progress Jason. Cannot help but notice that you have not pre-wired your Tortoise motors before installing them. What do you plan to do. I pre-wired all of mine and terminated the wires (all 8 ) to an Altronics terminal strip. Made it a lot easier IMO. Rod.
Thanks Rod, I'm just not quite sure about the location of the fascia yet, and how the panels will be finished. It's not that bad getting around under the layout (I can move around on a office roller chair with no issue) so it won't be that bad soldering them up. I may make some additional boards up for terminating them, as well as LED fascia terminals too, still deciding. If you guys are up for a visit during the week,just let me know if you want to see the progress. Jas...
