Hey Everyone,

I found this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=96481-> Pressure mat and was wondering if they could be used to trigger the prop controller. Has anyone used these before or know if this could work.

For $8 you ought to buy one and cut the mat portion away from the controls; chances are that it's a normally open switch and can be used.  That said.... it could be a resistive element and would, therefore, require the POT (Prop-1) or RCTIME (Prop-2) command to check.

Works like a charm I had some servo wire and atteched it to the mat and it works great
