Who needs wireless when you can run I2C over 50 feet?
The way I wired it is
Solid Blue - SCL
Solid Green - SDA
Solid Orange - VCC
Solid Brown - GND
All stripes - GND
My theory is that the twisted pair wiring which prevents cross-talk in Ethernet will do the same for I2C. It works for me.
The objective of this is to move the keypad and new display to a handheld enclosure that can either be hooked inside the Dalek or operated outside. The enclosure has room for more electronics - I already included a rotation sensor - so full external control may be possible in future.
