Re: LM35 - Length of cable ?

Hi Mark
               
Havnt used the analogue sensor . The capacitance shouldnt be
a problem with unshielded cable but not being shielded you may get
noise
injected into your analogue signal, so keep the cables well away from
mains
type stuff . How long are your runs?
