Re: Signal Wire Length
Al -

Thanks for catching my oversight. I thought that you were allowed to add bypass caps to digital sensors as well. I did not realize the 1uF rule was specific to motors.

Eric -

I'm in the "more bulk more better" school of thought when it comes to bypass capacitors. Therefore, most of the boards in the KoP have more bulk capacitance than they really need - I do love me some margin.

Honestly, I think you are worrying too much. However, I am glad that you are already exploring your options to improve robustness. I think they will prove to be unnecessary.
