Wire length for CP?
« on: February 02, 2005, 04:16:50 pm »
I am working on my first cab and I wanted to place the control buttons (shutdown, pause, exit, config, etc...) on the front next to the TV. But for my design this is about 3-4 feet from the encoder. Not knowing much about voltage degredation over distances, I know that the voltage used is low I just don't know what distance I will start to see issues. I'm using an IPac4, any ideas???

Ss long as you're not using multiple reels of wire to run to the buttons, you'll be fine.
