Longer Raspberry Pi Camera Cables

[DanWake]

Found this on Adafruit - sizes of cables up to 24" long. Got to watch for noise on the long runs, but this looks like it could be answer to a lot of troubles with finding a good place to mount both the Pi and the camera when using Octoprint.

nice find.
If you are ordering, add a 18" one for me and I will split the shipping with you.

would wrapping cable in tin foil be helpful?

I don't think the government wants to know what the ribbon cable is thinking.
A Ferrite core would be better.

I put these on the ribbon cables for my printer's LCD panel.

Solved the weird speed issue I was having.

I think I've got an extra set somewhere... I'll have to look.

Just placed the order - I went ahead and bought three of the 18" cables, so if anyone else needs one let me know.

I will pay you for 1 next meeting

I'll take the third one, if nobody has dibs already.

It's yours, Jim. Expected delivery is Friday (of course), so I'll have to get it to you in December (unless anyone is planning on meeting on Thanksgiving)
