Sorry for the blank post (this old forum sucks...if I press enter by accident while typing in the email or name fields, it submits the form. (Arrrg!).

The ground connection is supposed to be the ground referenced by the circuit (not earth ground or any other ground). So yes, daisy chain the grounds, and then on the last one just wire it back to the circuit.

: I was curious about hooking up the grounds on the push buttons. Do they all have to be daisy chained and running from the ground on the jamma or can they be grounded elsewhere? Like say to just a metal nut inside my control panel?
