    Touch sensor to activate light for set amount of time

    I think the reflective optical sensor is the best option given the physical requirements I need. I googled and found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor And this product: http://www.galco.com/buy/IDEC/SA1E-PP2?source=googleshopping&gclid=CJ_Z8fzU88kCFYaCfgodBDkGkw The...

    Touch sensor to activate light for set amount of time

    Hi, I'm building a prototype for a patent, not a miniature golf course. I am lacking the funds now to hire an electrical engineer AND deal with patent lawyer fees. Fortunately I think the technology is simple enough for me to EVENTUALLY figure out, so I am having a go at this myself. Thanks for...

    Touch sensor to activate light for set amount of time

    Thanks for the reply. I googled for micro switches. Sounds like that is what I need. A lot better than a touch sensor. To be more clear about my project, I need to activate this circuit when a golf ball rolls over the switch. So actually I need this setup to control a number of things...

    Touch sensor to activate light for set amount of time

    I need to create a circuit where a touch sensor (activated by pressure of a non conductive object) will trigger a light to to turn on for a set amount of time. I am a total newcomer to circuits (although I remember some of the basics from high school AP physics). I have been researching on...
