What about the mechanism to turn-on the display ? Is it a water-resistant pushbutton, or something else ?
My original plan was to use skin resistance across 2 metal contacts to turn-on. The problem I encountered was that when the watch energized it created excessive noise, so the technique was flaky. It worked nicely on my prototype (how many times has that happened before......) I ended up using a pushbutton, so mine definitely is not water-resistant. And due to another flub, I'm unable to recharge the battery because one of the charging terminals has an electrical open. Either I smash the case open, or drill a small hole to contact the battery terminals. But I do get to find out how long it runs on 1 charge...My prototype has been running more than 3 months on it's initial charge. I decided against wireless charging because I was afraid of induced voltage in the PCB traces, and even the components, as well as not having enough room for a Li-ion battery-charge controller. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
