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?
