Step 13Mount the Electronics
Naturally we will want to safely mount the electronics on the back of the poster frame. I used two pieces of double-sided tape.
Take the two sensor wires and strip about half an inch of insulation off the ends. Unfortunately you can't solder them on to the aluminum tape electrodes, so we'll tape them on instead. Untwist the strands and fan them out, then tape them into the center of the electrode. Aluminum tape tends to stick better - just make sure it doesn't short out the electrode! A better alternative, if you have it, is to use conductive epoxy to glue the wire down.
Tape down the remainder of the wire for a neater appearance.
