Basic Wiring Question
javeryh:
So if I'm daisy chaining the grounds together should I wrap the 2 wires together and then stick it in the connector before crimping? I can't do one at a time, right?
danny_galaga:
yeah, youve got the idea. just to clarify something, it may be that youve got the idea that both ends of this daisy chain have to go somewhere. this isnt so. so long as one end is connected to the ground then it works. you can connect the other end of the chain too if you want for redundancy but electrically its not required as the circuit is made through the COM- NO junction when you press the switch.

So going from ground on the iPac to COM1 and COM1 to COM2 and COM2 to COM3 etc until the last COM which will only have a wire coming in but not out is the way to do it?
THANKS!

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I did the reverse: Last microswitch goes to main ground on IPAC. If you want to add support for coin drops per se, you'll need to figure that into your wiring situation if you have a coin door. In all honesty though, I don't think it matters which direction the ground reaches the ipac.

Good point. I do have a coin door that I will also have to add to the loop somehow. Maybe I'll just run that ground directly to the iPac as well...
