I built out a DS-1 recently using all off-board wiring. I used 22 AWG from Smallbear. It's generally ok, but I so stiff if you have a lot of wiring going on inside the case.
I had to make some changes to the DS-1 build, so I rewired it up, using all 24 AWG this time; I was running out of 22 AWG, so in my next order from Tayda, I picked up several packs of 24 in different colors.
I'm able to move the board around a little easier if I need to, but something is shorting out or breaking in the wiring now.
Two basic question for folks going off-board wiring like this:
1) Do you generally solder the wires to the board first, THEN to each case-mounted part, or vice-versa?
2) What wire gauge are you using?
Thanks!
