Hi,

Don't share (loop wire) the +5v and GND for the sensors please, it will introduce too much noise in the analog signal.
Use a single Audio Shielded cable with three leads for each sensor that runs from the sensor of each actuator to the AMC1280USB connected in star configuration...

Use a shielded cable like this:

The shield can be used for ground lead.

Thanks
Thanos

When I was looking for shielded wire I found the following type to be the very common here on the west coast of Canada.
It's a 4 conductor + drain wire 18 AWG. Used in fire alarms and security systems.

Just make sure its not aluminum core, you need copper core for best transfer of analog voltage signals.

Actually that is not bad idea. To get six long USB cables and cut the connectors on each side. You can use the shielding on them connected to the GND on both sides (on sensor side and AMC1280USB side)

tronicgr: @fimmy I had to put it on hold to finalize the manufacturing of the new kickstarter controllers. I tested parts of it to ensure compliance with the new features and looks good so far. I'll get back to it soon for integration. Sept 9, 2017 12:52:35 GMT

Theuns: Very nice design.I'm also busy with mine and changing it also to Linear Actuators with 220v Servo motors.I'm waiting for my new controllers from Thanos. If I may ask Do you have any Sketchup files of your design and willing to share it I Thanks Theuns Sept 14, 2017 22:45:09 GMT
