The sensor assembly is really easy. We are using some K&S Engineering stainless steel strips that are 3/4" wide and 12" long (cut to 11" in length) and two types of raw Teflon strips are 1/4 inch wide and 1" and 1/4th inch long. some super glue and some speaker wire piled into separate wires. |
|
Before you apply the Teflon and glue you will need to install the wire. as we don’t want to add thickness to this if possible we will be removing a little notch of material from the metal strip that the wire can sit in. then we will solder it in place so its flat. Using a little sand paper just knock down any bumps you may have from the solder. |

Here is the finished sensor strip. You will want to install this narrow strip side up when you install it. This will more or less just float between the deck and the tiles. If you have low tension between the tile and the deck in the clamps you may want to apply a small amount of double sided tape to the tile facing side. |
|
Here is a quick side profile of the sensor. Material thicknesses have been exaggerated for clarity of diagram. It is worth noting that this is exactly the same principle that commercial decks use. |
