Each board was densely populated and looked to be about 24" square. All. Wire. Wrap. I really felt sorry for the poor schmucks installing the nightmare.

I have a small project I created that uses a small tft screen and there is one data line for each channel (8 total) plus about 8 or so other lines I have to wire to the arduino and just dealing with those few and running into issues where something isn't making a great connection can drive you insane, so I can only imagine.

Best Debugging Tool Ever: Continuity test setting on multimeter. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Great stories, thanks for sharing
