Good to see you back at it Joe - hope you sort those spacers out without too much hassle :)

I'm still using this thread as an awesome source of information - I've got a couple of questions though:

Your electrical diagrams are awesome - can you point me towards the software you used?
Your cabinet looks pretty decently sized for the layout - could you share the dimensions? Would you go bigger/smaller if you did it again?


Thanks!
Andy

Hi Andy, I have an updated circuit diagram that I will upload as I had a few mistakes on the last one... take it with a pitch of salt though as I’m no expert!! I just used the cad software we use at work for the diagram, which is archicad. Not ideal but did the job ok!

The cabinet is a decent size, I got it second hand off eBay and it had a few bits in it and the rotary switch already installed. I’d defiantly go big if you have the space. I found mine to be about right. I’ll try and get some dims for you.

Hi Andy,

My cabinet is about 790 x 790 x 275 deep. As I said in previous posts, please take this circuit diagram as a guide as to how I have wired my machine - it is from research on here and other places and is not an expert guide and may not be best practice, correct or even safe!? It may also have mistakes in it. I found it useful looking at other peoples diagrams and that is why i'm uploading it, but please do your own and be sure in your own mind that everything is correct before you wire things up. I don't want to be blamed for that infamous magic smoke!!

Cheers

Joe
