| Happ buttons common ground |
| (1/1) |

Ok, I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to electronics. I have some Happ's microswitch buttons. There are 3 terminals, 2 for the switch and one for the common ground. I hacked a gamepad and that's where my buttons are going to be run from. Do I piggy back all the common grounds for all the buttons then connect that to the common ground on the gamepad? |
| pointdablame:
yup. Most peopel will make a ground loop using all the COM posts on the buttons and the encoder or gamepad ground. |

Yeah, that's something I would change about my panel if I had it to do over again. I wired all of my grounds separately to ease in troubleshooting, but I've never had a problem with my panel so I haven't had to do any troubleshooting. But I'm not complaining about that, either! :) |
