Chatboard Cable Length

[frolik]

Right, I have all the ingredients to make a chatboard now, just one question remains... How long should the cable be??

I've been experimenting but it's hard to visualize how it will be, I think an inch or two would probably be best, but it's quite flexible so maybe longer?

What do you think?

depends how you wanna use your chatboard. Putting the gp32 on some kind of stand and holding the chatboard away from it or trying to be as close as you can. If it was me (which it should be soon ) I'd have it a fair bit away, about 6 inches.

I previously said mine was 15 CM, but after measuring it, its around 40cm...

I would go with 30 - 40 CM.. I have lots of wire so I could have made it 600CM long or more hehe, but that would only be good if you could hook the GP32 up to a TV (It probably wont even work as it will be too long and produce a bad / too weak signal)....

Mine is of about 8cm in length and its not bad, really depends on how you want to type on it.

How the hell do you 'make' a chatboard?

Hmmm.
