Is this correct? Please do well in convincing me, as I seem to have two intelligent gentlemen giving contradictory information. |

Turn your meter to the ohm setting and see what happens. Logicly I don't see how carbon can stop a signal, but I'm not good enough with words to convince you of anything. For that matter you can design buttons many ways, and not knowing exactly how your button is designed I don't want to make any statements that a latter look at the design would disprove. Carbon is a conductor, but not a particularly good one. |

I've hacked many pads...If you hook it up normally closed your button will be on until you press it. So, the carbon pads DO conduct the current; through what dark occult magicks they occomplish this I don't know. ;) |
