Hi all,
I am nearing the end of a scoreboard project and am now dealing with the remote (wired) boxes that hold the pushbutton triggers. It's a 12V system and the pushbuttons are momentary with a little LED ring around the button. Buttons trigger CD40192 counters via a cd40106 debounce circuit so I'm imagining the current load per button is pretty small.
The pushbutton boxes will be about 10-15 feet away from the scoreboard and I would like the boxes to plug into the main scoreboard via some kind of modular plug or standard socket but am not sure what would be a good candidate. The multiconductor cable from the pushbutton box to the scoreboard must have 9 conductors.
I've thought about D-Sub connectors but was also wondering about modifying a USB 3.0 cable or using an RJ-50 (10P10C) connector and cable. Something like this would be convenient, but I don't know if there is a reason to not use something like this. Thanks!
