Warhog Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 There is hardly any information that I can find about wiring this board. Has anyone here had any experience with it? I purchased one for my UFC and it is simple enough to wire in that there are two inputs for each switch. I am using momentary on switches. I would like to know if it is possible to wire these switches up with a common ground daisy chained to each switch? I am hesitant on doing so since there must be a reason he provides a separate ground for each switch. Also would have been nice if there was some documentation on it. Regards John W aka WarHog.

MTFDarkEagle Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hi- Yes! You can wire up switches with a common ground. I seem to remember that you can daisy chain ALL the grounds and wire it into one ground plug, but don't quote me on that, 99% sure.

Nopileus Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 He does that so its easier to wire up for most people, especially when using the push-in connectors. If in doubt just try it with two switches first. Looking at the micro on the board it seems to have plenty of legs to provide 32I/O pins, there will be no matrix on the pcb, so common ground should not only be possible but is already in place.

I seem to remember that you can daisy chain ALL the grounds and wire it into one ground plug, but don't quote me on that, 99% sure. Not 100 :P I am 100% sure. 32 truly independent digital inputs for buttons and switches No matrix, no diodes, no daisy-chaining. And yes, each input has its own two terminals (GND can be shared between inputs if necessary.) 1 ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Rahband Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yes you can i have two with a mix of shared single and multi ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mate I recently nought the same board as yourself, right now I am messing around with a variety of switches, just to see what ones I prefer..

Rahband Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 On a slightly different note. I did ask Leo bodnar how many can you have on a pc and they said they have had 12 with no problems. That's a lot of USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadroc Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yes. You can share a common ground wire for all button inputs on the BBI-32. On a single board you can use any gnd connection on the board for any button input. Wire are necessary for your layout. Yes you can i have two with a mix of shared single and multi ground Just to be clear. It would be a bad idea to share a common ground across two boards. This could create some interesting issues if you ended up running the boards off two different power supplies (aka two different powered hubs).
