Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] TMI accessory wanted

I would not have any problem with making the physical parts of the
switch. All I would need to do is make a mold out of silicone rubber
and make the switch out of plastic resin. The only problem is the
force sensitive resistor. Is there a certain number of ohms on these
type of resistors? How do I attach one to the circuit board? Can
anyone help me with the attachment of such part?

Thanks

Dean Rumsey
