Mechanical stacking
|
||
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
From the bottom to the top, we have the following elements:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Ben case, bottom shell
|
||
|
- a few drops of glue or silicone, to hold the counterweight in place
|
||
|
- the counterweight, covered by protective paint
|
||
|
- a few drops of glue or silicone, to keep the cover sheet in place
|
||
|
- a cover sheet of thin hard plastic, e.g., the type of plastic film used to
|
||
|
make transparencies
|
||
|
- isolating tape, applied to tall components of the Ben's main PCB
|
||
|
- the Ben's main PCB

Protection
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The counterweight is covered by one or more layers of paint, to prevent
|
||
|
direct skin contact with the lead during handling. The paint may also
|
||
|
offer some amount of protection against electrical contact.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The counterweight is covered by a layer of hard plastic that isolates
|
||
|
from electrical contact and that also resists being punctured by pointy
|
||
|
components or solder joints of the main PCB.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Finally, all elements on the main PCB that are unusually tall are taped
|
||
|
over, to further reduce the risk of them working their way into the
|
||
|
counterweight. Right now, the only component where problems are
|
||
|
considered likely is the buzzer.
