I'm building a retracting home theater projector screen and I'd like to make it automatic; press the "up" button once, and it latches until it's up, then shuts off, same in reverse. After tossing around several ideas for "home" and "extended" signals (limit switches, encoder feedback, screw/nut travel distance, single revolution pulses, etc.) I have decided that the simplest method would be to put 2 patches of conductive tape on the back side of the screen roll that will make contact with some probes riding on roll.
So I need some conductive tape that will adhere to fabric. I'm fully capable of googling (and I am googling) but I was hoping for a personal recommendation if anybody has used any of these products and is confident they will perform as I expect. My requirements are that it adheres to fabric and flexes (thousands of times hopefully) without coming loose and is extremely pliable - will not cause a noticeable concave shape from the front of the screen after transitioning from rolled up to extended.
Thank you.
