| Jul 12, 2020 at 19:52 | comment | added | aheigins | 'pin' is just used to describe the blocks that move up and down(because some displays have very small blocks, effectively pins). I'm more concerned with the robustness of a trace atm, i'm not sure if really thin traces would survive a brush constantly being in contact with them so was looking for ideas. | |
| Jul 12, 2020 at 18:20 | comment | added | Transistor | I can't see a pin in your photo. What is a "shape display"? Is it like a Braile display and is each display element a pin? Did you figure out what realistic resistance values you could make with a PCB trace of the length you are thinking of? | |
