RE: Pressure Sensor on toilet seat - QPROX

["Ward, David" <David.Ward@xxxxxxx>]

Chris,

I used them quite a lot in my previous job for a company that made
interactive exhibits for museums and shows.

They were very easy to set up on a small piece of strip board if you needed
a quick fix - as we often did ;-)

The support forum on the web site used to be monitored by the company
founder who was very helpful.
You could try posting your problem on the forum to get advice on which
device and 'sense wire' configuration would best suit the application.

Thanks David,

These do look pretty interesting. Has anyone had much experience with
these?

Chris
