+. If everything works, fix sockets and the ADC board with hot glue and put the lid on. Fix it with 4 nuts, use regular washers along with spring washers. Below are some pictures of cable management from another build that are better than the original ones. Make sure there are cable joints for each wire group, and only 1 wire goes from each joint to the corresponding ADS pin. The result will look much cleaner and will be more reliable then if you try to solder the joint directly to the pin.
