   I somehow got it into my mind that the bus bars were all shorted   
   together, this is what I meant (and what you interpreted correctly   
   anyway):

   The wiring to the chip could be a bit clearer. You left a lot out   
   from the schematic too, I started adding some of it.

   I used box-style resistors bacause I haven't had to figure out the   
   best ways to do American zig-zag resistors myself - I'll leave that   
   for you to figure out, if zig-zags are preferred.

   There is software specifically for drawing ASCII-art schematics. I   
   Can't remember the name, (might be more than one program, probably   
   for Windows or DOS). That might be handy if you're doing a lot of it.
