Step 1: This is a basic vibration sensative switch i found and copied

This would be great for use in my Instructable: LED Bouncie
I think I'll give it a try!

Actually I just found your instructable the other day and thought 'hm wouldn't it be even cooler if this was made to blink every time it bounced?' I had actually forgotten my own instructable. If you do make one vid it and upload it to yourtub.

Wiring diagram?

[James (pseudo-geek)]

no need. wire the battery, the light, and the spring switch in series(all in a row). if you REALLY wanna make it cool, you could use a 555 timer to make it stay on for say.....5 sec after the spring is activated instead if just while its detecting motion; I'll post schematics later maybe.

if what your working on is to small to photograph you can always try putting it on your flat bed scanner.
