Touch
sensor paddle:
As mentioned in a previous post
I originally used touch sensors for testing the Python keyer. For
comparison’s
sake I decided to mount these sensors in the shape of a paddle. The
‘feel’
is different than when using a real key or paddle. Instead of pressing
side-to-side, the finger and thumb are positioned close to the sensors
and
moved in to touch one or the other lightly. Not much can be said for
this concept, except that it more-or-less works. One
additional wire
is needed, as the sensors require power.
