Different circuit schematics to refer to: [SwitchesAndLEDs] let’s say we have circuit S1. Let’s say the switch is 10 feet from the Arduino. This means we are taking the +5v supply line out 10 feet and 10 feet back. 5v is now extended 20 feet with the potential of it coming in contact with things that can go pop if there was ever a short circuit on the cable. Also, sending 5v out on a 20 foot wire allows inductive coupling to noise sources that can cause serious problems back at the Ard…
