Wiikey fuion Pin 29 to gc ground wring????

[Gamerlolwind]

Hay everybody, gamer here

on tuesday i received Hackmodford's wiikey + Newheaven Adapter board,
i noticed that for the ground points on the adapter board he joined them together with a line of solder,

my question is for wring these ground wires on GC Connector on the BETA diagram

do i need to join the ground points with a line of solder like on the adapter?

or just wire each ground wire to the gc ground pins on the GC connector??

aslo, the wii eject switch (tacht switch) that i join Pin 29 to the switch to ground wire on the gc connector,
which ground pin do i wire the switch to?

the lone ground pin between the other ground wires and pin 22??

or

to the grouped ground wires??

if anyone can help me that'd be great, i only need this issue checked and I'm ready to start soldering the wiikey + adapter board to my gc connector.

thanx

Just wire each ground wire to the GC ground pins. But I recommend not bothering with those at all and doing it like Ashen shows here:

Only one wire is needed for ground using this method.
Wire the pin 29 switch to any ground pin.

Instead of scratching the board for ground I soldered it to pad "O" circled in green.
Wire the pin 29 switch to any ground pin.

so,if i just solder each wire to the ground point on the GC connector and wire the pin 29/switch wire to the lone ground pin or the group pins,

it'll work either way?

Yes, all the ground pins are connected to each other so it doesn't matter which you use.

so, the lone ground pin is useless and should not be soldered?

can i connect the wii switch wire to the ground pin that the other ground wire which goes to the adapter board is connected?

like in bentomo's wiikey wiring, where he connect the wire from the switch to the adapter board and then that extend wire to the gc common ground area?

for the 3.3v in i don't need to wire to the wiikey like in ashen's pic,

i made a thread here and got my answer from Hailrazer

That's up to you. It's the same as the other ground pins.

Yes.

nice, thanx for the clarification, now i can solder my adapter board.

also for he 3.3v in, on pin 32, the wire connected to it is an IDE one, should i use that for power or remove it and use another thicker one for power?
cause i read that an die wire won't do for power because it is too thin and won't transfer the power that well across.

also when remove the gc dvd connector, i desolder it from the bottom pins, how many times do i have to heat the pins and suck the solder to remove?
i remember when i had my pal gc and i tried this, it took for ever it happen.

IDE for the 3.3v on the Wiikey Fusion is usually fine. The Wiikey doesn't use a lot of power .

I used a small craft heat gun for around 20 sec and the dd connector pops right off.

nice,
good thing i don't have to add another wire for the 3.3v

oh? really, i used a desolding iron on it and it took for ever to suck the solder.
so, a small cheap craft gun does the trick in seconds? nice

i'll see if i can find one at the supermarket.
