What started out as a little project has gathered mass as it's rolled 

along. Go figure...



Has anyone come up with a tool to help with wire listing? Add this unit 

and that unit and let you connect the pins and come up with a wire list?



I have seen one from Visual Engineer Inc but I kind of think it's aimed 

at people that rewire 2 or 3 Gulfstream's a week. There must be a one 

off home built version.



Any thoughts?

Yeah, like that.



I've got about 8 things that have to wired together and I don't have 

enough floor space to lay out all the sheets.

I simply put it all down on a spreadsheet.  We use a program called EPLAN at

work for this but its very expensive.  For the small size of our stuff a

spreadsheet works just fine, and you can tailor the list to suit your needs-

and sort it any way you want to.



It feels like a bit more work at first but it really pays back later when

you are trying to figure out what circuit wire !(at)#$%^&(at) belongs to!

There's just so much typing all those pin assignment names in. I usually 

can cut and paste those but the Garmin manual pdf's I have are copy 

protected.

Bill....

     

     Do a screen print (the PRT SCR key) of the appropriate page in the     pdf, then copy it into your favorite graphic editing program (Open     the program, then CTRL-V...Irfanview for me) then copy and paste     what you need from there.

Hi Bill,Â 



What would this bit of software do? Â I'm not sure I understand the concept here. Â Are you able to write down a few sentences for what the requirement is? Â I ask as a software developer who's just finished a contract.Â 

 



Cheers,Â 

James

Well... If I were king, it would have a list of equipment (i.e. SL30, KX125, Aspen EDF1000,...) and I could pick the ones that wanted. The software would list all the pins and let me highlight (select) pins and click "Connect" and when I was all done, it would output a wire list. Of course it would be nice to be able to edit the list too. If it did checking like not letting me tie incompatible pins together and making sure there is at lease one source pin for whatever sinks there are. If it put out schematic (or single line) drawings that would be cool too.

That's all.

Can you show us what the spreadsheet looks like?  An image would be worth a thousand words.



Thanks,

I have attached a short pdf shot of my spreadsheet; the left most column is

for the wire numbers; the next column is for any connector that I may have

(I use barrel connectors and a variety of DB connectors that I then give

codes numbers/ names to).  The last column describes the circuit that the

wire may be found in.  You could add a 'from' and 'to' column, but I think

that that is overkill- all you need is the circuit that the wire is

associated with and then it's easy to find on your diagram.



I always find that you allocate all the numbers in sequence and its all neat

and organised, and then the client, or you, remembers something that needs

power and your neat sequence is all messed up.  And that makes finding the

wire numbers very difficult, hence this list.
