I probably doesn't matter if you connect to COM or NO with each wire, but to make things easier I treated the A wire as a ground or common and connected all of then to COM and used black wire so I didn't get confused.
As far as 'daisy chaining' the Common wire, I think you can but remember.. Doing that is like a serial (as opposed to parallel) connection and if there is a problem with one connection than all connections after that will not work.
I connected them parallel and ran them all to one terminal block. If ya want to see what I did check out the controls section of my site.
Good luck!
: I know this question has been asking a thousand times, but I want to make sure I've got this right. I have the LP24 and plan on using it in matrix mode with the layout described on the interface page of this site. What I am wondering is do I run the wire from column A, row 1 to the NO pin on the microswitch and run another wire from the COM to the ground pins on the LP24? Also, can I daisychain the ground wire between all buttons (i.e. run 1 wire to each ground and then back to the encoder)? Am I making any sense??? I hope so, the cabinet's done and now I'm into wiring.
: Also, if anyone has their LP24 config disc handy, could you please zip up the contents and email it to me at rocket@emu2k? I left mine down at my parent's house and its almost a 2 hour drive to get it.
: Thanks!
