| Where to connect the ground wire for a happ trackball. |
| (1/1) |
| justinjstark:
I have a happ trackball and an optiwiz. The trackball has a 6 pin connector which I have connected to the optiwiz. But, there is also a big green wire coming form the trackball that says connect to earth ground. Where is a good place to connect this? I'm guessing I should not connect it to another ground on the optiwiz since it is such a large wire. Any suggestions? |

This comes up from time to time yet it doesn't yield a definitive answer. :dunno Some say that you don't need to attach it while others say to ground it to something like a PC case. If you can attach it to something like that, I say do it. It's a little bit of insurance that doesn't take that much work to put into place. Better safe than sorry. Here's a detailed thread with good info by 2600, CheffoJeffo (who I failed to give credit to the last time I linked to that thread. :P ), and others of course. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=54489.0 |

I attach mine to one of the PSU mounting screws at the case. |
