cable length

MIDIbox SEQ
1

the way I am casing my SEQ V4 (STM32F4) there will be a 50 cm. distance between the Core and the MIDI sockets.

 

either I can have the MIDI I/O and Quad IIC boards close to the Core, and 50 cm. cables to the sockets, or I can mount the boards to the back plate, and have 50 cm. cables to the Core.

 

Is it a cable length problem with the MIDI I/O and IIC boards, like it is with the DIN/DOUT/AOUT?

 

It would be a lot easier to just stretch 3 flat ribbon cables from the Core to the boards, than 2-3 wires from each IN/OUT

(with 4 IN and 12 OUT, that’s 44 wires soldered / crimped on each side  :sad: )

I think the 50cm to the midi sockets is not a problem. I have midi cables of 5mtr.

I guess I was a bit unclear

my question was really if I can have 50 cm. cables between the Core module and the MIDI I/O and Quad IIC modules

Looking at the schematic I see no reason why you shouldn’t be able to use a 50cm cable between Core an MIDI I/O module. For the Quad IIC module I don’t know for sure, but I would assume it should work.

I guess I will just have to try it when I get there :wink:

 

It would make my build better and easier
