Quoted from Topher5000:I looked at John's Jukes ground mod directions, but they're a little confusing to me, so I'll follow the pinwiki guide. It's connecting each board to the 5v power supply heatsink (after sanding of any coating) & then running a wire to the ground strap (on Raven, mounted to the side of the cabinet), correct?
Is 18ga wire enough, or should I use 16ga?
I'm sorry you found my instructions a bit confusing. It you don't mind expanding on that I would be happy to rework the page so it is clearer.
As for the ground wire gauge, you don't need to run another wire down to the ground strap, if you use the green wires that already go to the power supply common they are already firmly connected to the cabinet ground strap. If you do want to run another wire, 18 gauge is plenty - no real current is flowing, we are trying to balance the common/ground connections so they are all at the same potential.
