I would like to transfer commands from one PIC microcontroller to
another one through a long command wire. The wire is around
200m.
I designed the attached schematic.
and here is my calculations
For Q1
Ib(Q1) = 4.3/1k = 4.3mA
Ic(Q1) = Ib(Q2) = 4.7/(220+220) = 10.6mA
The frequency of my commands will be 1khz.
Is there any problem with this design. Can the signal cross 200m
safely.
Do I need to make VQ1 = 12v and VQ2 = 12v instead of 5v to
raise the power up.
Another thing, the remote PIC will drive a 12v motor. Is there
any problem if I use my local 12v to power the remote motors.
Again, the distance between two controllers is 200m.
