Remote control enclosure

A project log for Dalek head control

System to have the Dalek head follow the operators head leaving hands free for plunger wiggling

Who needs wireless when you can run I2C over 50 feet?

The way I wired it is

Solid Blue - SCL

Solid Green - SDA

Solid Orange - VCC

Solid Brown - GND

All stripes - GND

My theory is that the twisted pair wiring which prevents cross-talk in Ethernet will do the same for I2C. It works for me.

The objective of this is to move the keypad and new display to a handheld enclosure that can either be hooked inside the Dalek or operated outside. The enclosure has room for more electronics - I already included a rotation sensor - so full external control may be possible in future.
