: Any help you guys could give would be great!! Here's what I got:
: 2- control panels
: 1- I-PAC (already wired to one cp)
: 2- 5ft. long, 25 wire ribbon cables (no connectors attached yet)
: 1- 25 position female D-subminiature connector (for the I-PAC???)
: 2- 25 position male d-subminiature connectors (for the control panels???)
:
: Am I on the right track? Is this all I need to make them interchangeable? If not, what else should I get? If I DO have all I need, How do I know what wires go where? The wiring is REALLY a concern of mine. I know nothing about electronics, and i'm still amazed I wired the I-PAC right the first time :) . Once again, thanks ALOT for any help you guys can give me. This board rules!!
I would also recommend some female quick disconnects for connecting the wires to the controls and some pliers to crimp them with.
