BODY CONTACT TUTORIAL
A simple and cheap way of making body contacts on plastic toy's
The tools required are:
- Thongs
- Chair-Nail
- Soldering-Iron
STEP-01:
Find a good toy!
This one is just fine.. It's made from plastic and it uses battery's.
STEP-02:
Hold the Chair-Nail in the Pair of Thongs like below.
STEP-03:
Hold the Soldering-Iron on the Chair-Nail And wait till the nail gets warm..
(When the nail gets warm it will melt through the plastic)
If this takes too long for you.. you can hold the Soldering-Iron on the bottom of the nail.
This way it will heat up much fater..
STEP-04:
When the nail has penetrated the plastic because of the heat, the plastic will cool down rapidly
and hold the nail tightly in it's place..
Now we can solder a wire on the other side of the pin, and connect it to a body contact point on the circuit-board..
Thats it!!
