Unconventional Switch - Electronics Team 7

    For our unconventional switch we used an already conductive beverage can and a coaster wrapped in some foil to make it conductive. With one clip connected to the can and another connected to the coaster the circuit becomes completed when the can is placed onto the coaster, lighting up the LED. This system gives a visual indicator for when the beverage has been placed onto or is removed from the coaster. This can help remind the user to place their drink onto the coaster instead of the table, which could result in a mess. The light can make it easier to tell if the beverage can has been placed in the correct spot and helps to remind the user each time they lift their beverage and place it back down.
