Signal cable lengths to / fro to Arduino / TC4+
progen	#1 Posted on 08/04/2022 12:55 PM
1/4 Pounder Posts: 79 Joined: December 17, 2019	My current configuration is a 2.5m 3 core (w shield) 24AWG data transmission cable from the pot to A0 on the Arduino / TC4+ and then 25cm from OT1 to the SSR. Works perfectly. However, I was thinking of moving the Arduino / TC4+ to just beside my laptop and then using 2 of the cores of the 24AWG data transmission cable for the signal from OT1 to the SSR instead. Pot will then be connected with a 20cm cable to the Arduino / TC4+. The reason is because I personally like being able to see whether the TC4+ is behaving itself and communicating properly with the SSR whereas I can't see the two boards if they're mounted far from the laptop as originally planned. Is the Arduino's 5V or the TC4+'s OT1 stronger? Or is 2.5m still not long enough to worry about signal losses or interference?

Signals strength is similar for both, in the 0-5V range. OT1/SSR circuit signals are digital, so almost immune to interference, vs the analog signal of a pot. As a result of the above, OT1/SSR circuit is more appropriate to be remoted than the pot.
