Hello folks,
I'm fairly new to electronics but the more I read and the more I tinker the more I learn. I would like to build a simple battery operated circuit that uses a pressure switch/sensor/plate but I can't seem to find such a switch when searching sites like this or just general google searches so maybe I'm not searching on the right keywords.
I want it to be small like a regular push button switch and the behavior is that the circuit stays closed while there is pressure and open when there is no pressure. An example would be holding your finger on the switch keeps the light on. The minute you take your finger off the light goes off.
I've seen pressure plates but they are way too big. I wouldn't mind something like that but scaled way down. Just a tiny pad/plate is needed.
Thanks in advance for any help provided!
Karen
