Been playing around with this for a little bit and I've come across a couple of things that might make the app easier to use:

• Copy / paste: often times I'll end up with a motor and controller pair, set up the wiring between them and then want to duplicate it.
• Component flips: sometimes I want to flip the image representation of components instead of just rotating. The battery is a good example of this, with one horizontal flip the wiring path from the battery through the main breaker to the PDP would look cleaner with no overlapping wires. Similarly flipping either the NEO or the Spark MAX would allow them to connect with out wires crossing.
• Component groups: it would be nice to be able to visually group components together based on application, something as simple as a colored box that sits behind components and has a label on it would be fine I think.
• Component labels: It would be nice to be able to label motor controllers with CAN ID / motor names so the diagram can be an even better reference.

Hello - Great work guys, it certainly helps us show students how a robot should be wired correctly.
There is a little problem. We get an error if we don't add a PCM, even if we don't need one. Our robot is not using pneumatics.

Unable to connect components 18awg components together errors above defaults to 22awg wire and then you cannot change the wire gauge you have to start wires off in space and then connect both ends (specifically power wires)

(i had to do this by starting a new wire and then connecting them.

When using the Mac version 2 if I have a circuit open and I resize the window, the pop-up for rotating and setting gauges and what not no longer appear. It seems as though it goes off into space.

I found that I need to make the windows size what I want before starting a new circuit or I need to quit the current one and then resize in the main menu and then go back into the circuit.

The application crashes 'randomly' when adding components. It also disappears components randomly when opening files. But if I touch the cable that it is connected to, it reappears.

I've found some logs on the windows computer. (I'll post them in another reply.)
When running on Linux sometimes I get a NullPointerException

I've reproduced this problem in both Windows and Linux but out of the blue sometimes it just works and doesn't have any errors.
