Step 3 The switch

Use conductive thread to sew two pieces of conductive fabric together. Leave

several feet of conductive thread after sewing each pair. It will be routed

to the magic dock.

 

 

Create a stack: conductive fabric, regular fabric, conductive fabric.

The two sides of conductive fabric will make contact through the holes when

you press. Align gray to gray and black to black.

Use regular thread to sew the entire ensemble together.

 

Use a multimeter to test the resistance when you squeeze the switch. You're

measuring across the two strands of conductive thread. It should read 1kΩ or

less when you press the gray (zelt) part, and about 50kΩ when you press the

black (velostat) part. More technical details.
