Triggers and Buttons:

26 March 2009

We've had quite a lot of interest in our triggering arrangement and the push buttons that we are using as part of this year's display.

I've been looking around for some suitable buttons, that the visitors can press, that are robust and look a bit Christmassy. I came across some push buttons, in the attached images, from an Australian online store Austin Amusements, that sells spare parts for amusement / arcade machines. The button itself is approx 22mm diameter, which should be big enough to stand out and be pressed by little people. The micro switch can be used for either a NC or NO connection.

I purchased 5 red and 5 green buttons (not that I need that many, but they were relatively cheap for a quantity of 10) and I think they will do the job nicely.
