How to connect two wires to the same port


As shown in the image, two wires are connecting to the same port. Just wondering, how do you do this? If anyone could help, explain, or give a tutorial, it would be quite helpful.

Your image shows CONNECTIONS, NOT WIRES! They may be individual wires or may be pairs of wires. It is up to you to do wires. Strip insulation and solder wires to make two or more connections.

Paul, thank you for your response. Could you provide and links to videos, or any sort of tutorial on how to link up wires like this, I am new to arduino and it would be helpful. Thank you.

It's not an Arduino specific problem.... It's an everyday electrical question easily solved. Step out of the LEGO brick world and be creative!
Soldering wires or using connector blocks are common steps.

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. Me and the other person who are working on this project have an idea. The idea consists of taking the insulation off of both of the wires, then tying the wires connected to the joystick and the wires that are connected to both arduino's together. In alternative terms, taking the insulation off of a segment of the wires, then interlocking the insides, so that they can both feed into the slot, and have a connection, do you think that would work?

Post #2 are links to 4 things you can try.

You can use the terminal crew shield to tire multiple wires to the same Arduino Pin:

That is helpful, but, do you think the proposed idea of taking off insulation and threading the inside wiring together would work?

[sigh]
Yes.

The UNOs I use have an additional set of holes for a second connector, I generally insert male pins. You can also do it with prototype board.

This part of the circuit still looks bad:

... there is no shared ground between this Arduino and whatver the signals connect to.

Hello

Why did you develop a multiple µC setup?
