hey mahuti,

now that you've made it known that you will be the first to recieve yours, you must tell us how this thing really works.  no offense randy, but i'm just looking for assurance from a non biased party.  you better get everything ready mahuti so you can tell us all the day you get it.

dema:
Since I've never used an encoder with screw terminals I had a quick question. How do you wire to the board? Do you crimp a fork onto the end of the wire and then screw it to the board? Do you tin the end of the wire and then just screw onto the exposed wires? Or do you just screw onto the exposed wires? Not a big deal, but I'm trying to determine which GP-Wiz49 to purchase.

The easiest and least expensive way is to just strip about 3/16" of insulation from your wire, twist the ends, push it into the terminal and tighten the screw.

You can tin the ends if you want to keep things tidy, but it's not necessary as long as you keep track of the strands so they don't short to adjacent terminals.

Tryin, but since I don't actually HAVE a 49-way stick it might be a bit tough.  I'm bidding on a stick on eBay, but there's like a week left to go in the bidding process... who knows if I'll win, anyway. I guess what I'm saying is... better look to somebody else to get the news out asap.

Had I known there was so much pressure I would have ordered one xpresspost!

mahuti:
oh, and Randy, you're welcome. ;D

Too bad you didn't have the 49 ways when I ordered, I would have added one on. I'm tempted to buy one while I'm waiting for my eBay auction to end, but since the rest of my order shipped already I just can't make myself go back and buy something else right now. :p
