How's my jtag wiring?
It works fine, I just want some feedback on how it is or how I should improve it.

Your wiring is O.K, but you stripped too much wire off the ends, which in turn could possibly create a short.

I stripped off 3mm of wire off the ends.
How much wire should I strip off?

Na - think you stripped the right amount off. My only criticism would be you should have used shrink-fit tubing where you've connected the wire to the switching diodes - that could short out.

I'm using electrical tape to keep it from shorting out on the metal case right now
But I'll try the heatshrink tubing, it would look better too.

I used flux for the diodes, but not anything else.
