Did Shuttle fly with these bodge-wired boards or were these used for development on the ground?
I don't know if these boards were flown. They were coated with conformal coating (which I hate for reverse-engineering), which is usually omitted from prototypes. I believe that bodge wires are okay for flight if they are done properly.
That's amazing. My bodge-wired work won't last 10 miles in the trunk of my car.
