how much wire do I need?
« on: July 26, 2013, 12:27:22 pm »
I'm building a 4 player control panel and was just trying to figure how many feet of wire I'm going to need to connect the controls. Any ideas? Panel is approximately 18"x48". 4 joysticks, 30 buttons.I know it is hard to know for sure due to button placement considerations, just looking for a ballpark figure.

100' should work if you mount your encoder in the middle of the CP.
