Disclaimer: For week 3 project, I was under the impression that I needed to create four different switches… after I finishes someone mentioned that we were meant to create four of the same type of switch or pressure sensor. That said, Here are my four switch projects! ~~~

For this set of switches, I was trying to create a set of individual buttons that, when pressed, would light up a corresponding light! Also, I wanted each button press to be satisfying to the touch for the user. So I used conductive fabric and cardboard to make the buttons easier of the fingers! I also used a thick piece of foam to allow for greater travel when pressing down on the button. FEELS GREAT! 🙂

Project 2:

Next project, I wanted to create another series of individual switches. However for this set, I wanted to do this with pull switches that required a sliding motion!

Project 3:

My third project is a resister made with copper tape and Popsicle sticks with a resistive fabric in between. The crossing pattern is also an attempt to control the level of current that can be passed from the positive panel to the negative.

Project 4:

The last switch I’ve made is based on the old, Ball and Cup Game. The cup has a negative current while the ball is connected to the positive with a conductive string. Once the ball lands inside of the cup it completes the circuit and the light turns on, give the player extra satisfaction for achieving their goal!
