Simple Ipac2 question..
« on: July 24, 2003, 07:33:44 pm »
Okay this is for grounding with the ipac. Why is there two ground ports on the ipac? From the pic on ultramarc you just use one, and daisy chain everything.

Or should it go from the ground to say P1 (joy and buttons) and then P2 (joy and buttons) and then back to the other ground port?

Thanks for any advice..

Well you may want to daisy chain all the player 1 controls together and have them in one ground and daisy chain player 2 together and have them in the other ground. That's usually how it is done. It helps down the track if you have any wiring faults, you can halve the number of connections you have to check.

On mine I sent one of the grounds up to the control panel, and then sent the other one down to the coin door and service switch area.
