In their intended use that is beginning to push the envelope. Twisting the wire helps but the best solution is to redrive the signal once or more.

Since the signal is 0-5Vdc and the pulse widths are in mSecs, would 5 or 6 feet be safe from a pic or atmel I/O pin. I don't know what the impeadance of the servo signal input is, but it is a small Futaba S28 hobby servo. Thanks John -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
