I went through 3 different calculators.  None had a regular circuit board under the keys... all had a plastic film instead.

Well done, it's looking good. I use the thickness of the top of the bobbin to control the height of the pickup. I use a design where the fingerboard is raised above the box lid (say if I use a 1/8" fretboard, it will sit 1/8" above the box lid, and I can then use a scrap of the same wood to make the bobbin top.) Make sense?

Yep.  Makes perfect sense.  I'm using the same thickness (1/4 inch) fret board to sit on top of the box.  So it sounds like I'm doing the same thing as you describe.

Finally got my pedometer and hooked it up.  Works great!

I had the rare earth mag on the chuck so long it magnetized it...  At first I was dbl-counting revolutions until I took the magnet off and it counted them correctly.

Sounds like a ped. might count faster than a cheap calculator... Back to the $ store for me...
