Check here for all the sensors.


 

Smokey has constructed multiple sensors using this website as a guide, including a button sensor (conductive fabric and neopreme), a pressure sensor (using velostat and conductive thread), a tilt sensor (conductive fabric, thread, and a ‘bead’ made out of a nut). He has also constructed a linear encoder using 2 limit switches and an encoding pattern cut into cardboard.
