Application examples

1. Make a huge joystick (see also this detail) out of it and hang it from the ceiling. See how it's used in this video.
2. See how Ben Neill uses Push2D sensors for the MutanTrumpet.
3. Create a fancy control panel by combining Push sensors (Push, Push3D), Reach sensors (Reach, ReachClose), Slide sensors (eg. Slide-50, Slide-200, Slide-500, SlideRound, SlideWide), Touch sensors (Touch, TouchMicro-05 TouchMicro-10, TouchMini, TouchMiniOn, TouchStrip) and Turn sensors to name a few.

Cable		1.0 m (39 inch), shielded, red wire = power, black wire = ground, white, grey and thin black wires = sensor output, extendable at least 100 m (328 ft) with ExtendCableD-10 and 30 m (98 ft) with ExtendCable3D-01
Connector		male 1x4 plug with 5 pins in a three rows spaced 2.54 mm (0.100 inch)
Weight		25 g (0.88 oz), incl. cable
Software support		Our SensePlay software is a very easy way to quickly map sensor data to (sequences of) sounds, images and videos using a drag & drop user interface. Our EditorX software allows you to configure the digitizer to process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our Link software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our SensorX software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the data of a single sensor.
Application notes		Output 1 is the X direction (left or right, if the Push3D is in front of you, with the knob facing up with the cable pointing towards you), output 2 is the Y direction (away from you or towards you) and output 3 is the Z direction (up or down).
