how to wire GT trackball GND connections?
Pages: (1/1)
rchadd:
the golden tee trackball has two green wires that need to be connected to an earth point. think it is to disipate any static electricity from the rolling balls. i think it would normally be connected to an earth point on the chassis of the GT cab. but i am using the TB in a all wooden CP.
is it absolutely necessary to be connected to GND?
can i connect to GND connection on my optipac? or will it cause damage?
GGKoul:
I connected mine to the bottom of the trackball plate. No issues.
Trimoor:
All grounds in a cab are connected to the same thing--ground.
It should be fine to connect it to any available ground, but if you're afraid it might damage something, just put a resistor in series to prevent voltage spikes.
Any low value will do (eg, 100 ohms)
