Hands Free Switch | jh5363

When deciding what I wanted to make I thought that if I weren’t going to be using my hands for a switch, I would probably want to use my feet. Other parts of my body could be used but that seemed less convenient. Behold the foot switch!:

It is essentially just two pieces of cardboard stapled together. The top piece has a cut out of a shoe and the bottom piece has four wires stapled on. These wires may need to be taped though for better stability. Behold the magic shoe!:

Its got tin foil taped on the bottom of the heel and the toe. This way the top two wires in the switch will connect and the bottom two wires will connect. This could either be used as two separate switches or it could be used to as a switch in series to make sure the whole foot is planted on the switch.
