- mindslight 11y agoRearrange components to group functional blocks, and minimize the number of wire crossings. Replace explicit power busses with supply arrows (more (+9) and (-) like they have for external connections). Splitting monolithic chips into individual gates can help too, but probably isn't needed for this.
- CamperBob2 11y agoIn addition to what mindslight's saying, a schematic should be drawn to make the signal flow as evident as possible, usually from left to right and top to bottom. Sometimes this isn't practical or reasonable, such as when everything's hooked up to an 80-pin IC or something like that, but for a project this simple it wouldn't have been a problem. This diagram is a dog's breakfast. The draftsperson apparently thought this style would make the circuit easier to construct, and perhaps it does, but their real job was to make the circuit easier to understand, and that definitely didn't happen.
