Re: Loss of signal in PWM cables.
Posted by Michael Betts at 1/23/2001 11:56 AM EST
Engineer on team #177, Bobcat Robotics, from South Windsor High School and International Fuel Cells. In Reply to: Loss of signal in PWM cables. Posted by Michael on 1/23/2001 10:36 AM EST: : Hey y'all . . . : This is my first post to this forum, but I've got a question that I haven't really been able to find an answer for. : Has anyone suffered any problems with their PWM cables with respect to signal loss? We've (We being team #271) got to run a PWM cable to a servo at the end of a long arm, and we'll need some ridiculous amount of cable. . .something like 12'. Being that the wire is so small in diameter, I was worried about internal resistance and all, and wondering if the signal would get that far. : Any advice? Michael, The servo is an extremely low current signal. Signal loss should not be a problem. I would suggest trying it first before committing to a design. An alternative is to cut a PWM cable in half and splice a larger AWG for the majority of the run. Mike |
