I’ve been building control panels since I was a kid because I would help my dad build them for his company in our garage. Then I did industrial electric installations for another fifteen years. Ever since I have designed and built control panels for all kinds of machinery. So I know just how important an accurate wiring schematic is. So what do I do when I build my own CNC machine? I start building and wiring saying to myself I don’t really need a wiring diagram!
Now four years later and I want to add some new capabilites and I am totally confused about how all this stuff works! I now have almost 5 days of effort cutting wire ties, poking, ringing out wires, and making a wiring diagram. What a HUGE waste of time this is. The changes I wanted to make are really simple if you have the correct wiring diagrams.
Broke the rules and I am really getting spanked!
