In mind that the switch was designed to discriminate between
purposeful and uncontrolled wrinkling. Adjusting of the
sensitivity level should allow you to find the position when fast
purposeful movements will activate the switch, while slow
uncontrolled movements will not.
As an alternative, the switch can be attached to any other part of
the body, and activated by any movement, which results in
bending of the Sensor Element. As in the previous case, user
should be aware that the switch reacts much better on short, quick
movements. The speed, not the degree, of bending initiates the
switching action.
There are many other possible applications of this switch. For
example, the Twitch Switch is sensitive to vibration. Thus, it can
be used as an impact switch, e.g., if the Sensor Element is
attached to the surface of the table, it will react on any vibrations
of this surface, such as caused by striking it by a body part or any
other object.
Turn the control unit off after use to preserve the battery.
