I am creating drum triggers from piezo elements (found here) all wired to one central Arduino Mega 2560 that will manage the sound/vibration sensors and LED strips. The longest distance between a trigger and board is 5-6ft. I plan to use 18AWG shielded wire between each with a 1Mohm resistor in parallel. Will the 18 AWG allow my piezo to get its signal all the way back or am I missing something else that is needed.
More precisely I am wanting to use this speaker wire, 9 conductor 18awg is needed, and I want to use the 1AMP signal wire for the piezo as the others will be used for LEDs and mic audio.
