Wire length (with completed pics of CP)

Wienerdog:

I'm building two stand alone controllers to play fighters.

SirPeale:

Just for your controls?  Within reason, as long as you want.  Would't do like 100' or something, but ten feet should be reasonable.

Wienerdog:

Yes, just for the controls, and the sticks are Suzo microswitch (fortunately not my p360s). 

Sounds good, I didn't know if there would be any problem with a voltage drop over those wires.  I might go 15 feet on each of them, but it's not like this needs to be "apartment sized".


NoOne=NBA=:

I've heard RandyT mention 15' as the maximum several times.

I'm not sure if that's 15' TOTAL, including the run to the PS/2 port, or just 15' for the controller-to-encoder run though.

Wienerdog:

Interesting, maybe I will go 10 feet on the Cat3 just to be safe.
