Learn About Body Contacts on the Circuit Board for Bending

Video Transcript

"AMANDA CLAIRE: So let me explain a little bit better what I found when I was exploring the circuit board just so you know. In this case, I found there was this one point here that I've already connected to one of the body contacts that when you bridge between this point and any of six or seven, several other points, you get kind of this little raygun, you know, [SOUNDS LIKE] ting-ding-ding-ding-ding sort of sounds. The thing that they all have in common is that they all require contact with this one point here. And so that will be the common point that any time you bridge those body contacts on the outside, one finger will always be touching that contact. And then, the four or five other options will just be a contact to one of these other places. And so, that's kind of what I did with this project too that you saw before, which is that, again you have inside, this one is soldered into the one place of the circuit board that is active when connected to four other places that I've found and each of these are connected to those. So in order to activate these, you have to always bridge kind of that common one with the other ones. So nothing happens if kind of bridge these two or any of these on their own 'cause there was nothing interesting in the circuit board that did that. But if I connect any of those with that one, with the common one, then you hear the difference. So, right. So, that's going to be what we're doing here, it's the same kind of idea. We've got one common lead, I've already installed that, and now I'm going to solder in the other four."
