Shielded feedback loop

Postby seanzozo » Mon Mar 02, 2015 8:34 pm

I'm stuffing the board on my budgie and I have a question about the shielded jumper for the feedback loop. From the photo, It appears that I make some connection to the + and a - terminals at both ends.

Obviously a signal wire runs between the two + terminals. I can imagine three options with regard to the two - terminals:
1) signal wire connected at both - terminals and the shield at only one
2) signal wire and shield connected at both - terminals
3) only the shield that is connected at - terminal with no signal wire?

Is there one thats preferred?

See Shannon's picture here ... both shield and center conductor connected at each end.

Thanks Tom.

On reviewing my question I realized I forgot to mention that the wire Shannon sent with the Budgie was had two signal wires in addition to a shield. I couldn't be certain from the photo whether Shannon had hooked up the second signal wire in addition to the shield. I'll just ignore the second wire.

You are 100% correct - just use the shield and one wire. I've clipped the unused second wire in that photo.
