for sure, i'd do things the professional way and make a wiring  
harness .. this cuts out a *lot* of time, and its not an obvious step  
for most DIY'ers who just bung things together piece by piece ..

yes, i'll use the techniques taught me in my youth while i was a  
solder-monkey on a real production line, producing hundreds of radios  
and heat controllers for companies in singapore per week ..

i know what you mean about the potential here.  we'd like to sex it  
up a bit also by providing a full documentation trail -and live video  
on the web- from parts to completion ..
