I made a switch that resembles somewhat of a foot pedal. I tried to cut a box to make it more square like, but I didn’t have tape nor glue so I was left with this. I used copper tape that Professor Fitzgerald gave me to create a conductive surface. I put this on two sides of the cardboard. This would eventually touch when you put your foot on it and complete the circuit. The wires are aluminum foil wrapped up and these would attach to a battery.
This is my updated version. I added a led, but as it says in my comment. It didn’t work. And also my usb is janky so it doesn’t work; I didn’t have time to go buy a new one, so it was actually such an unfortunate week.
I tried to get my switch to work, but I just don’t know how. It lit up a few times, but whenever I tried to actually document it, it wouldn’t light up. At least I got my adafruit board soldered!
It’s hard to see what is going on in the photos, maybe it’s useful to draw a diagram of what’s going on in there?
