Check the wire was done properly by testing its continuity/conductivity with a multi-meter
(use the meter in diode mode and place the leads on either end of the cable. If the screen

You will need 1 of these. Make sure all are working before proceeding.
Follow the same steps as above except for stripping and tying 2 wires together before crimping

This cable is for grounding all the buttons together. Make sure to check the continuity at each
connection node and the whole length of the cable.
