Wiring Ipac2 - Ground

Optimus Prime

Lads, on the ipac 2 there is a ground on player 1 and player 2 side. can i wire all the buttons and joystick ground into the player 1 ground for example. or do i need to ground player 1 into the player 1 side and seperatly do all the player 2 into the player 2 ground?

and can someone explain how you crimp the ground connection on the button? my crimping tool doesnt fit, can i bend the connection up?

ground is ground it doesnt really matter, its only labelled for a default keymap you could mix and match p1 and2 buttons if you really wanted but it would be pointless. dont really get your question about the buttons, what type are you using?

Yup, as mentioned its a shared ground so you can just daisy chain the ground wire between the control panel buttons.

sorry i was being an idiot! I thought i had to crimp the connect onto the GRNd on the switch on the button. but i didnt it just clicked on.


Thanks for that, i just wired the whole lot into the player 1 ground.
