@enriquericos I think this is a question for @mwichary
@brunogirin Even if @mwichary doesn't know the answer, finding out that his book exists has made my day. Thanks!

@enriquericos Oooh, I can watch on Amazon. Thank you!! I had no idea.
@artcollisions You're welcome! I hope you like it.

@artcollisions You're welcome! I hope you like it.
@enriquericos I'm sure I will. I think I'm going to wait to start it. Still a little out of it from covid.

@artcollisions Sorry to hear that, I somehow missed that you got covid 😞

@enriquericos eh. thanks. I am trying not to whine about it too much. Just finished paxlovid yesterday.

But these switches are awesome and I'd like to what they're called or if they're custom props. I might want to get them for an art project, a cyberdeck or who knows what.
Any button experts in the room? Please and thank you.

@enriquericos They look like standard pushbutton switches, to me, but I'm a musician, so I have tons of them on effects pedals.
I would suggest taking a look at the "OptoKick" optical switches from TheGigRig. I know they supply them to other manufacturers.

@enriquericos
This might be something built on isostat switches or similar, judging by tall stems.
Yet the switches I remember were requring a quite great force and often being in sets where pushing one resets other. -

@gcvsa Thank you! I don't know the first thing about pushbutton switches, but searching OptoKick is already returning interesting results

Knowing about isostat switches might be useful too, I'm jotting this down, thank you!

@artcollisions Whine all you want and we'll read you and recommend good shows, or don't, whatever helps. I hope you get well soon 🙂

@enriquericos <3 Thanks. You're a sweetheart. Good shows to watch are always welcome!

@enriquericos Kinda look like tactile push button switches, but with a custom prop cap.
Edit: I should clarify that you'll probably want to be searching exclusively for the heavy duty ones to maximise similarity.

Those buttons on a bar can be momentary, in any position, and any number at one end can latch separately. There is a U hook for latching and a sliding bar with spring at one end for interlock, hence buttons not interlocked only at the opposite end.But the ones in the image are not that kind. They are separate push button switches and relatively common for the last 50 years. Less common now.

@gcvsa @enriquericos
I doubt they are optical. They are a niche much more expensive product needing power & ground. They are also limited in what can be switched. DC ratings often 1/5th of AC rating on a mechanical switch, due to risk of arcing with DC, so 50 V DC & 250 V AC at 1A is common. -

@AtotheJ I can always make the caps myself. Looking for heavy duty is a good idea, thank you!

@enriquericos I'm no button expert but agree this looks very cool and appears to have great tactile feedback.
Love all that OG #analogue electronic gear, switches, button, levers and potentiometers. Very cool for #RaspberryPi or #esp32 projects.

I'm learning a lot from all your replies.

@robertsmith I couldn't agree more. Recently I discovered the term "cassette futurism", you might be into that too:

@enriquericos @gcvsa See

Similar suppliers in every country. In Germany retail there is Conrad.
Likely 20c each on eBay or Alibaba etc.

@ju scusa ma dopo la rimozioni dei batuffoli potrai ancora chiamarlo Tuffolo?

I support this idea! Would be interesting to try self hosting and expand the capabilities beyond what masto.host allows, and then we can finally have our 4k photos

@timkmak My key example of the incredible incompetence of the Iranian regime WRT water is the Gotvand Dam, which was built primarily for irrigation - on a massive salt deposit. Downstream agriculture has been almost completely destroyed, and the impounded water isn't suitable for agriculture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Gotvand_Dam

@pj Start talking to VC managers right away. With that growth rate you could easily score some serious Series A funding. 🤣
