Taking the Cisco Networking Course, perhaps I should know this, but how do
you get an email's header frames?

complicated than that?? cause i found some for about 6.00 alot cheaper than
gear motors.

The idea with the transistor is to turn the HIGH output from the
inverter that signals a touch into something that resembles the closing
of universal switch contacts, so you can just wire it in parallel with
the existing sensors. Depending on the circuit design, a bi-lateral
switch on a HC4066 might be more useful. The touch sensor on the other
hand needs some slight changes to act as a switch rather than the
switching power source sorta thing shown.

I use photoshop (though any drawing program should do) with the grid
turned on, and cut&paste the components from when I drew them for
previous circuits. It doesn=92t take as long as it might sound, but I
suspect schematic programs may be faster. On the brighter side, I get
neat graphics-software functions like layers, transparency, cut, paste,
mirror, colours and whatever layout I damn well want :-)
