i had a quick question about the wiring. on the riptide design, when wiring the ground wire, does each arrow have its own ground wire, and then you solder all 4 arrow ground wires to one and to the controller, OR is there one continuous ground wire that goes to all 4 arrows and then the controller? Also, if i were to put lights inside, how would i wire it to sync with the steps?

thanks for the feedback

Well, from my experience of pad repair, ground is connected to all four arrows and the controller and each arrow has it's own individual wire connecting to the controller.

so theres only one ground wire that connect all four arrows and then leads to the controller? i was reading another guide and it talked about microswitches and male/female connectors for the guidewire, and in riptide's guide it looks like he merged several ground wires into one, so im a little confused

What I did when I refurbished my afterburner was I got a couple of wires that were cut, soldered them all together to make one big wire, then soldered that one long wire to the sensors dedicated to ground. I don't know what you would need microswitches or male/female connectors for.

To put it simply: One wire connects all sensors made for ground, then connects to ground on your controller.. No seperate wires for ground.

I hope this helps some.
