Wiring question
« on: December 08, 2002, 01:02:26 am »
i'm trying to clean up my panel's insides so i've got a few qustions.  i've got a Sidewinder hack, with the wires from the sidewinder going to a terminal then to the buttons.  i have it set up right now so that i have 9 or 10 different wires connected from the ground terminal going to the different buttons.  i could clean up a bit if i could just have one wire going from the ground terminal to button one, then daisy chain that to button 2, then to button 3 and so on...
here's a pic:

i have the top and want the bottom.  can i wire the ground wire this way?  will it have any effect on button response times? or will it work jthe same as the way i have it now?

thanks in advance

That will work fine. If you want a bit of fault tolerance, add one more wire from the end of the chain back to the Ground terminal. That way if there is a wire breaks they will still be grounded.
