Wire length limitation

JimG

I want to interface my BOE board to another breadboard.· I plan on using the 20 pin connector on the BOE and connect to a 20 single row to plug into the external breadboard and 24g wire.· Is there a practical wire length that I need to be concerned with between the two boards: I'm talking inches here, BTW.· I have no particular circuit in mind so can't spec things like V, A or frequencies I might encounter, I just want to be able to swap external breadboards depending on what I am working on.· I also don't necessarily need to pull Vdd from the BOE the even though I will have the connection for it carried over to the external breadboard.

Thanks,

Jim

If you are only talking "inches", then no. The length will have no affect on voltage loss or any other concern other than ergonomics (does it get in your way?)

You would need some real distance in·yards for it to be a problem.

Tommy, I know it wasn't designed to·x, but can you make it·do x·anyway?

Tommy,

Thanks, that talkes care of that. now all I have to do is make my big fingers connect little wires to even littler connector pins.
