Another quick wiring question

That's a little more than you usually want sticking out but having a bit past the crimp is the most secure way to go about it.  Given that it the connector doesn't have a shield, the excess isn't long enough to create a short that the connector wouldn't already being making.

I Daisy-Chained my ground connections for two purposes, it's faster and you end up using less wire. It's not the more reliable type of connection though. Each button with its own ground wire would be a lot more reliable but then you need to have extra connection points for each ground wire and the I-Pac only comes with 2 ground pins. So I daisy chained and made it loop back to ground so incase one connector fails and has an open circuit it will still work going the other way. Not sure if you understand the technicality of that but it kind of means the ground wire connects back to itself on both ends of the wire.
