I'm guessing they are made from drawing pins !

Thanks Lisa, Ian... Yep, they are brass plated drawing pins! They're ideal for this as they are readily available, low profile and conduct electricity really well. Also, the more surface area and the closer together the sensors are, the better they perform - drawing pins meet both these requirements! Just need to work on the positioning of the sensors now. The box that's going out on Monday has the pads close together but one on the side and one on the face (around the corner). You can activate this one by wrapping your index finger around the box or by holding the side pad in the 'V' between finger and thumb, while making contact with the other pad on your palm. The box pictured above is most comfortable when activated with your thumb. They take a little getting used too though... I keep forgetting to take my thumb off the pads! Sean Sean |

Check out my MS Paint skillzzzzz...  To add an led in, just wire the led to a resistor (on the positive side), wire that to the positive sensor pad. Then cut the led negative wire into the negative wire that runs from the centre terminal of the MOSFET to the 510/901 connector. And Robert is your Mum's brother! PM inbound Tony! Sean |

Can't see at the moment as it's written in microscopic! Will have a look tomorrow in the daylight. Does it make sense to you? Sean  |
