protofuse Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 hello experts,I have to wire my ~100 pots.+5v and Gnd are all common.only one cable between each pot and AINx4right.I saw that AIN take 5v and Gnd from core, and can "forward" them to pots.BUT for different reason, I'd prefer to wire 5v and Gnd directly from other lines in my circuits.can I do that? or do I have to wire them from AIN ??

nILS Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 You can take the 5V and ground from wherever you want. But you really want to try not to end up with ground loops and the likes (star wiring...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janis1279 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yes, it's right. Only , when mirrored text, pots connections looks like reversed.Redrawing some lines for better understanding.Regards, Janis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
