I haven't really.  There's going to be a lot of wiring harness work out of 
necessity, but I haven't done much work recently on what happens after the 
cannon plugs.

In thinking about it though, it sure gives me some interesting ideas.

I could have controllers for blocks of things and that would make the 
interconnects a lot easier.  That being said, I could also do it using 
1Gb/sec Ethernet and SBCs like the Raspberry Pi.  That would save me from 
having to write low-level protocol stacks if nothing else.  I can write 
tcp/ip stuff practically in my sleep. ;)

Are you leveraging CANBus in your 737?
