Thread: HOORAY!!! NO VSA Signal Interference

Tweet

There are a few threads where wiring for servos and DMX are discussed and several people had warned of issues with signal interference when servo wires are laid over power cables and such. I hadn't had any problems when testing in the garage, but then I didn't have cables laid out in all directions and passing over cables carrying AC, DC and DMX.

Yesterday, I got all 11of our SSC32 animated props, 8 talking skellys and 3 other servo driven props and our DMX lights up and there's ZERO interference. Everything works great and I have these Cat5/6 servo wires crisscrossing all over the "graveyard" running across 120volt extension cords, 12vac lines and some 12vdc lines. What a relief! I was truly worried about that because it would have taken me forever to lay out all of those lines so they didn't cross over eachother.

Yay!.... Sometimes the worst case scenario does NOT come to pass!
