digitizer design and FAB

Jon -

I use Solid Edge for CAD. I can send you Iges, STEP, or
Parasolids formats, but they would all be "dumb" solids, meaning
you don't get the feature tree. It might be easiest if I just
handle changes on my end, and reflect the changes in the drawings.

It sounds like the debounce circuitry is pretty straightforward
from the helpful comments on the list. I think enclosing the PCB
within the housing would really save a lot of hassle, if we could
get someone to lay it out and fab a few. Things like
strain-reliefs, ball contacts, debounce, and misc. wiring would be
much easier in the end if we could just use a PCB. Otherwise, you
just run into lots of kludge brackets, insulators, clamps, wire
splices, etc.

Anybody got room on their plate to volunteer the PCB work? I
could supply a DXF with contact pads, holes, keep-out zones, etc.
already defined.

Carlos, would like to help with the mechanical design, but it
looks like
you are using a solids modeler? I'm using Cadkey97. Never done it,
but I
can import IGES and SAT.
