Okay, Since the Home made pad thread is basically dead. I'll ask here. I kinda need a fast response.

When wiring up a Home pad, using the soft pad control box. Is it better to run each of the ground wires to the PCB, or run ONE wire from the PCB and just run all of the grounds into that one wire?

It's easier to put all the ground wires into one wire, so you only need to solder once to the circuit. Either way works, just do what works better for you.

The latter would be my preference. I would hate to have 4 (or 6 I suppose) grounds connecting to one solder joint.
