2. What is a WireViz Diagram?

WireViz is a text-based documentation tool designed to describe wiring harnesses and electrical systems using YAML. It enables clear and structured documentation of cables, wires, connectors, and their interconnections. WireViz is especially useful in hardware design, automotive, aerospace, and embedded systems projects where clear wiring diagrams are essential.

3. Supported WireViz Features

MassiveDiag Playground fully supports a wide range of WireViz diagram features, including:

  • Cable and wire specification
  • Wire colors, gauge, and types
  • Connectors and pins
  • Signal names and labels
  • Shielding, splices, and braiding
  • Project-wide wire documentation

It enables you to visualize even the most complex wiring harnesses with ease.

Sure! Here's the revised section 4: Example of a WireViz Diagram with your provided example inserted properly into the structure:

4. Example of a WireViz Diagram

WireViz Code:

cables:
  - name: J1_to_J2
    wirecount: 2
    gauge: 24
    length: 1.0
    wires:
      - color: red
        signals:
          - name: +12V
      - color: black
        signals:
          - name: GND
    branches:
      - name: J1
        type: connector
        subtype: JST_XH
        pins:
          - pin: 1
            wire: red
          - pin: 2
            wire: black
      - name: J2
        type: connector
        subtype: JST_XH
        pins:
          - pin: 1
            wire: red
          - pin: 2
            wire: black

Generated Diagram:

eg

This WireViz YAML defines a 2-wire cable harness connecting two JST XH connectors. The diagram generated by MassiveDiag Playground will visually depict:

  • Two conductors (red for +12V and black for GND)
  • Connectors J1 and J2, each with two pins
  • Accurate color coding and pin-to-wire mapping

You can download this structured wiring diagram in SVG, PNG, Word document, or PDF formats for use in documentation, schematics, or manufacturing instructions.
