[FTC]: Lego Motor Extension Cord?

Hello,

We have a LEGO motor sitting at a considerable distance from the NXT and we need a longer cord than provided in the kit, does anyone have a way to create a long distance connection?

Thank You

Re: [FTC]: Lego Motor Extension Cord?

One thing that we did was use some of the interface cables from the NXT to RCX cable. You can take two of these cables and combine them at the RCX connection and make a very long cable. If the cable is longer than that that you need, you might want to move the NXT closer to the motor in question.

You can get the cables here

Also, HiTechnic sells "Extra long cables", You can find the at the bottom of this page

I hope this helps out.

Regards,

Re: [FTC]: Lego Motor Extension Cord?

WOW THANKX!!!!. I'm not sure if we can use the extended set, but i'll ask on Q and A forum, and the RCX trick is greatly appreciated.
