Since the console will be a wiring diorama of sorts, I decided to add a touch of drama by painting bits here and there.






Sparky

created new wiring harness for the console.

Thanks John.

Added wiring harness to console control panel. Since it is the underside (not easily seen) it was pointless to dressed it up.



Connected control panel and harness to console.



Made small harness between terminal strips and the two D-Connectors to the back of console (these connect to control box under display table).

Did you ever notice how many towns are named after their water towers ! ?

Sparky

Thanks Bob for your response.
__________________________
Added Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor for detecting any museum visitors approaching the display.



Dyed some felt a grey color and lined the console edges of front panel.



Drilled holes in the thick Perspex, allowing heatwaves to reach the PIR sensor. A portion of the front panel was used as a kick board to protect the Perspex.


Sparky

The PIR sensors movement in its vicinity. When it does it will turn the console lighting on. The only times it turns off is when the PIR no longer sensors movement for 10 seconds, or when someone starts working the console.
