Well after installing 96 SS49E Linear Hall Effect Sensors, 6 16-channel Analog Multiplexers, 1 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter chip, and 72 wires to connect the 6 State Panels, the wiring is done.

To make installation into the chassis easier I have made a cable and added headers to join the top and bottom rows of the state table.

After connecting the first two State Panels together I realized that the 12 short 22 AWG wires were too "stiff" which made aligning the two joined panels harder than it should have been. So for subsequent joins I used 22 AWG for the two outside joins. and used 28 AWG wire for all the rest. Much better.
