This replicates the function of the Steve Spangler "Energy Stick", it's a simple circuit that makes a beeping sound when someone holds both ends. The idea is to create a platform that a blind/visually impaired student could use to assemble a simple circuit.
The body was cut from 1/4" birch, and the schematic was cut from thick cardstock/poster board. First, the perimeter of the body is cut. Then, leaving the wood in the laser cutter, the schematic is glued to the surface of the body, using the rectangle around the schematic as a guide. Then, the holes of the body are laser cut. This creates a board with a raised schematic and holes at the node points.
Conductak is placed in the holes, and component legs can be inserted and removed, almost like a big breadboard.
More details coming soon.
