I am using Tosten grips.
The Grip wiring diagram has a wire from the trigger & each of the other buttons, and a common wire.
The common wire will need to go to go to ground (Earth) for use with the other buttons.
We understood for the ptt it is best to run the 2 wires from the mic jack, straight to either side of the ptt switch, NOT to go to the aircraft ground.
To clarify we run the wire from the tip of the mic jack to one side of grip trigger switch, - No problem we can do that, (Yellow wire on Tosten grip wiring diagram)
but we then want to run the wire from the MIC jack barrel to the other side of the PTT sw ( White wire - Common) . This common wire will however also have to go to ground to provide functionality on the other switches on the grip.
Is this ok?
I am using a common earthing block on the cockpit side of the firewall.
Guidance anyone please?
Thanks
