That's confusing, even for a llama. What are you daisy chaining? Can you give us a link to "the pic on andy's site"?
1UP:
It's simple. When you go to wire your buttons, for example, there's no point in having 18 different ground wires jammed into the same terminal on the I-PAC, so you daisy chain them in sequence (since they all go to the same place anyway. Here's how it's done:
When you go to connect the grounds using .187 disconnect tabs, just crimp the end of the ground wire from the previous button together with the ground wire from the next button. Keep doing this until all your buttons are chained together. Make your last wire long enough to reach the I-PAC, then screw it into the ground terminal That's it.

That makes more sense 1UP, I thought he asked about Chaining Daisy (that's whay I wanted a link to the picture).
isugoat:
what's the final verdict on the circular daisy chain? good, bad?
i.e.
GROUND TERMINAL-BUTTON-BUTTON-BUTTON-GROUND TERMINAL
instead of just
GROUND TERMINAL-BUTTON-BUTTON-BUTTON
