I have been reading everything I got my hands on
in this message board and want to start my first
arcade joystick project. But I am having a hard
time understanding "where" to solder the wires on the
joypad. Every place keeps on talking about a common
ground. What is the common ground? And is it easy to
tell where it is on the PCB of the joypad? If
anyone can explain in a lot of detail the soldering
process and about the common ground and the points
of where to solder on the PCB please reply or email me.
Or if you have a link that would be great. Thank you.
