I am new to building circuits and soldering so this summer I decided to jump in and get started. Its been great and I love learning by trial building new things that I can imagine up.
Now to my question,
For my application i specifically needed a 15 inch "line" that when pressed at any point, it activated ,the switch that actuated an led. .
After buying several different types of push switches from digikey, I laid out 3 identical push switches at equal distance, suspended a 1/4 inch piece of bass wood, notched out for the switches, and this actually worked.
My question, does there exist a type of wire or sensor(s), in a straight line, that can be buried within a urethane rubber and still be activated when pressure is applied? My main concern is being able to be as thin as possible, ideally within 1/4 inch of urethane rubber.
Any help, suggestions are appreciated.
I hope this makees sense. I'm still learning and i apologize for any confusion
