Ok so…
I’ve seen these banana plugs that don’t have any wires attached to them, imitating a “node,” so that you can alligator clip or touch-play it. I can’t seem to find where I can purchase these. Does anyone know what they’re called?

Thanks
Amy

So are the whole things conductive? I’m not sure I understand which parts I’m supposed to use as nodes

Your could do a couple things -
I plan to start adopting 4mm Bullet Connectors.


Meng Qi utilized these on his Rollz-5 board.

Otherwise the cheap chinese Bananas with removable sleeves work great if you install them upside down - with the threads sticking outwards.


Or these also work great for semi flush mounted patchable touch nodes :slight_smile:

the whole thing is conductive! :grinning: you can even just use the plug part, but it’s a bit harder to remove that way.

I like these. They are very low profile. Just add steelwool! Here they are on my sidrazzi build:

Where do you get the pcb for the sidrazzi? It looks fun but I can’t find a pcb or paper circuit. I see the prototype but not the actual finished smd pcb. I don’t think Peter sells the pcbs anymore but is there somewhere I can get one? Thanks.

PB sold them at some point through this post, no idea if that is still the case.

Got lucky I guess and found one on the forums years ago. The seller knew Peter and was given the assembled PCB, but never did anything with it.

Pretty complex! Looks like it needs some rearranging and resizing… just so much crammed together so tight

@laihalll are these what you have been looking for? Send like they’re available on digikey.

Thanks @corpusjonsey, what do you use the steel wool for?

I roll it around on the jacks to make semi-random connections.
