Hey all... I was woundering if anyone has info on making TV Remote type push buttons? Like the ones that are on board copper traces or well i think they are and use like a gel feel shaped magnet type thing to connect/close the circuit.

like on some cellphones i have seen that... but any links on whereto buy them? Because i know that they have to be a certain shape to pop back up when pressed

hi,
I expect you have stripped down an old remote.?
The button assembly is a flat sheet of a rubber type material.
Each button position is slightly domed so that the pcb strips are only shorted when the dome is depressed.
You can cut up the sheet into individual switches.
Also look at sparkfun.com for what they call "button pads". Same idea but the button material is translucent and you can light it with an led. Not exactly what you wanted but interesting.
If you just want a re programmable remote the ones with a JP1 connector are hackable if you can still find them. Your Junebug might even be able to program the EEPROM directly... http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/index.shtml
Else I think the buttons you're looking for are called membrane.

Since i know the basic design of it im sure i can make the device in eagle and print it out on my own board and just use there actual buttons... I will also add the LED in the middle (maybe)
Just tested making a button with a radioshack board and 2 wires and a multimeter. Also with a Rubber Silicon pad from a old broken remote and works pretty well.. Just soldered wires to board and connected each to a probe on the meter then on the top rail i used some solder to tin the board and placed the button pad thingy on the board and pressed and works good...
Thanks guys i will try the sparkfun stuff tho I like the look
just reading the sheet (app note) and noticed in nigels code He turns on LED for 7 uS and then off for only 14 should it not be off for 18uS for each pulse?
The DECFSZ is 1 cycle right? Unless skipped?
a goto is 2 cycles
