Hi,
I'm looking for a source for 'contact strip' like the one a passenger presses on the bus in the UK to signal to the driver to halt at the next bus stop.
Does anyone know the correct name for this, & where I can purchase some ?.
TIA,
woodglass...
What's it called, & where can I buy it ?

The cool way of doing this is to use Quantum Tunnelling Cable.
It works really well - I use it on robot's bumpers..

They're called 'Tapeswitches.' They're made, appropriately enough, by a company called 'Tapeswitch.' You can find their web site here.

I took a quick look. It appears that they manufacture all kinds of the things, including sensing bumpers useful for robotics projects.
Happy hunting.
Thanks,
I found a site in the UK that sells them,
