Hi Folks,

 

How long can the cables/wiring be when connecting a sensor (say 3/4 pin) to the Netduino Plus 2's digital or analog ports?

 

The reason I ask is that most suppliers seem to offer cables up to around 30cm, but I was hoping to be able to purchase something 2 meters or longer in length.

 

Best regards,

 

Nathan

Hi Guys,

 

I haven't been able to find out how long the recommended practical limit for a sensor cable is, but I did find that Pololu offer pre-crimped terminal cables up to 5ft in length.

 

Take care,

 

Nathan
