Post by thread:[PICLIST] [EE}: Re: Need some switch ideas

Hi Barry, I made a small underwater flash unit and did not want to have the hassle of finding a waterproof switch for the on/off switch. Since the enclosure was plastic, I used a reed switch on the inside and a magnet on the outside which when placed next to the reed switch turned the flash on. You could expand this concept to a small keypad if needed. Ceramic magnets dont seem to have a rusting problem. ======================================================= Lawrence Glaister VE7IT email: spam_OUTlgTakeThisOuTjfm.bc.ca 1462 Madrona Drive http://jfm.bc.ca/ Nanoose Bay BC Canada http://gspy.sourceforge.net/ V9P 9C9 http://members.home.net/cncstuff/ ======================================================= {Original Message removed}
