Megasquirt and EDIS - Shielded wire
I'm wiring the EDIS module to the megasquirt and trying to decide how to wire the PIP and SAW.
I have the option of use some shielded microphone wire or twist a pair of wires (suitable for car use) and then shield them using the mesh from a
coaxial cable and maybe wrap in aluminium foil.
Which one is best?
Thank you very much!

PIP and SAW wires don't need shielding, only the sensor wiring.

According to this http://www.extraefi.co.uk/Drawings/PDF_Files/Edis_Wiring.pdf the PIP should be shielded.

Ok sorry, mine wasn't as the ecu was right next to the Edis.

PiP and SAW are shielded on the original installation, I have removed lots of Edis plugs in the past and they all had shielded connections.Microphone
cable is ok but usually quite flimsy, I use industrial shielded cable from work but have also thought that electric guitar leads would make a good
substitute as the better quality ones are quite substantial and designed to be hard wearing .
