    team06 designed a force sensitive switch that functions as an interface for individuals who are confined to a wheel chair.   The switch accepts a small force as input, but reject noise and accidental inputs.  A microcontroller interprets the voltages read from the touch sensitive switch. These voltages are compared to a personal pre-determined threshold level. Hence the device is configurable to each individual.  If the voltage exceeds the threshold, a relay is activated to allow a connected device to turn on.  Audio and visual feedback indicates to the user that the relay has been activated.
