AC Sensorizer cable shield

Design Concepts

Hi,

I just finished my AC sensorizer. I will be using it with some pressure sensors mounted on a glove under my finger tips :slight_smile:

I’m not sure if the 2.5 m cable going from the MIDI box running AC Sensorizer to my glove with sensors should be shielded or not? The cable is carrying 5v, ground + 4 outputs from the sensors back to the Midibox. If you think shielded is best, then do I connect both ends? I have a feeling that you usually just ground one end of shielding, but I’m not sure what’s best in this case…

Thanks in advance

David

Typically you ground the shielding on the source side.

I’d say try with whatever you’ve got, if you have problems, try the other option :slight_smile:
