using a ribbon cable

Post by carmatic1 »

so i have bought a 60 conductor version of this cable http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/e ... 15H3ZM9Zbl

because i will be mounting the LED's at a remote location from the actual PCB

can i remove the resistor networks from the PCB, and put them on the far side of the cable where the LED's are, so i can have a single VCC line going to the resistor networks at the far side ? rather than having to use a length of ribbon cable for the anodes of the LED's and another length for the cathodes ...

Just make sure your VCC line is sufficient for the combined currrent for all the leds.
