Looping the ground is just there for insurance purposes. It just boils down to a matter of preference. I'm not sure which I prefer. Looping adds extra reliability, but I would want to know about any potential problems before they become too serious. I drew these crappy little diagrams for this thread. The green dots and marks represent dead buttons or failed connections. The green dots represent buttons. The green square represents a PCB. This is what you have when you have no ground loop. This is what happens when the wire or some connection is severed. This is a break near the PCB. A looped ground. A break near the PCB. A break between two buttons. Two breaks, one near PCB one between buttons. A break at the PCB. As you can see, in a serious failure, it's easier to pinpoint certain problems. |
