FSBUS - COM Cable length.....???

[Guest seanw]

There are several messages floating arround regarding the cable length for (or from), the FSBUS COMIII Board. I am still not sure who's wright.Here's what I want to know; Does the 10CM cable lenghth applies to RS232 cable from PC to COM board?Or,Cable from COM board to say, FSBUS KEY, LED, DO... etc. during flashing?ThanksSean W.

Hi Sean,1. the RS232 cable vrom your PC can bea as long as required - no problem.2. The cable from FSCOM to EACH board can be as long as required - no problem3. The cable from FSCOM to the controller - BUT ONLY WHEN FLASHING (and that happens once in a lifetime of a controller) should be as short as possible.If you have questions or need the PCB

Thanks Mathias for your help. I am actually etching my own PCB(Home made), and plan on finishing it this week.
