Basic Wiring Question
<< < (2/6) > >>
menace:
I would recommend a couple of ground loops--that way if you have a bad connection you don't lose everything and its easier to track down the offending bad connection.
ChadTower:

Yeah, better to do it with each ground loop being the controls of one player.  Don't forget that in a daisy chain, if one connection breaks, they all break.

All behind the break.  In the ultimarc pic if hte ground at the middle button borke only hte left and middle button wouldn't work.

Some people will ground the left button to the ipac to.  That way if something goes wrong with one button it doesn't take out all the buttons behind it.

OK, so I can daisy chain the P1, P2, P3 and P4 controls (each separately) and run the last wire of each to the ground node on my ipac (so 4 wires go to that one node)?

Thanks a lot.
