Here's a photo of Ian Cooper's controller mentioned above.



As you can see, the buss-bars coming out the right are all very close to each other and are cut to a nice shape to have enough room to bolt the power cables to them.

I like the idea of one of the connections coming out the other end, to save space, make it easier to use plain/straight buss bars, and maybe save an accidental short!
