It's about that time... I've never done something like this ans I'm a little intimidated... anyway: Each microswitch gets two wires running from it - one from NO (normally open) and the other from COM, right? I know each wire from NO gets wired directly to the corresponding node on the iPAC but where do the COM wires go? Can I wire one COM node to the next COM node to the next COM node and so on? If so, what happens to that last wire? Can I wire it to the first COM node creating a circle or does it go somewhere else? Or am I way off base here? Thanks. |
| rdagger:
The last com goes to the ground on your encoder. |
| javeryh:
Thanks. So wiring one COM to the next creating a loop is an OK way to go about doing this? |
| JonnyBoy:
Yep, you can daisy chain the grounds together and shoot them right over to the ground terminal on your ipac. |
| ChadTower:
That is called a daisy chain ground loop. |
