How do you know if you connected the ground correctly on an IPAC?

Guywiththegun:
Is there any way to test this? I assumed the controls simply wouldn't work if the gnd wasn't connected right, but apparently they would . . Now I'm nervousing. I modded a Hanaho Hotrod with an IPAC value edition. There were 2 gnd wires on the Hotrod (after I cut past a connection that made them into 1) and I just plugged each into the spots for ground on the IPAC. Does that sound about right?

bkenobi:
Connect the control pin to each micro switch NO side.  Daisy-chain the GND on each switch together and connect that to the GND pin on the IPAC.  The Hanaho may have used 1 GND per player...can't say since I never looked at one.  The IPAC just needs the controls all connected to the single pin and you'll be set!

Guywiththegun:
The IPAC has 2 spots for ground, thats why I just went ahead and plugged 2 in.

ADDED: I should add that the controls with the IPAC actually work perfectly, I just don't want to get zapped.

Thats only for people who didn't daisy chain the groundsNd so be more space for them

Or for people who run a complete chain so they can connect both ends.  ;)
