Limit to the # of ground connections??
« on: June 17, 2002, 12:11:12 pm »
Okay, I'm wiring up my controls, and was wondering if there is a limit as to how many microswitches I can daisy chain to one ground connection?  Any dangers here?

No, absolutely no limit there. If you wanna daisychain hundred microswitches, just do it. But don't forget to post the picture here, a controlpanel with hundred switches must look rather interesting!  :D

Yes there is.  You can only daisychain as many microswitches as you have.

If you do a lot of them, your fingers might get sore.

haha thanks guys.  I figured there was no problem.  Well my CP has about 35 buttons!  I just finished the wiring.  Yeah, my fingers are hurtin' :)
