Painting jog wheels

[alien2k]

I just scratched with my VCI 100 jog wheel using a wooden spoon so im guessing that theres no conductivity as wood doesnt conduct electricity (if i remember right from school).
I would not consider this to be a very scientifically based experiment but the results were convincing enough.

It sounded shit.

Seems that your wooden spoon might be a bit wet because the top platter of the vci should not get it. If you want to do some more mythbusters experiment try to activate the top platter with a piece of plastic or some paper between your fingers and the platter. You will see that they dont pick up the signal, so as bento says, they do sense the electrostatic electricity.

you could always use some of that metallic nickel/gold paint and mix it with a regular paint to make it conductive.

Just whatever you do, remember to post pictures so we can see what it looks likes or it'll never work again.

True story, happened to a friend of mine.

When it's all said and done pictures will be posted. I guarantee you that.

Going to be a few weeks, but it'll be done.

Hah the spoon had just come out of a pan of boiling pasta so im guessing that it was damp cus the waveform moved. Just tried with a plastic spatula and got nothing.

Even more scientific.
And yes im mapping my VCI on the kitchen table whilst cooking..!

NASA got nothing on me.

Dude, that would end so poorly for me. I'd, like, end up setting the VCI on fire and trying to beatmatch with the carrots or something.

not to mention I'm a sloppy cook and always have a mess to clean. No expensive electronics in the kitchen for me

Its a big kitchen and if im really honest my girlfriend was doing the cooking i just whipped the spoon out to test the jog wheels.
I can burn a salad..!

Slight off topic.
Whats the news on the Jog Grips . I definitely need something on my VCI .

[timinya]

yes i want jog grips too

i'm gonna put them imbettween the plastic and touch sensitive plate when i get mine so its not so wide, 'sgona look fresh i reckon

Also:
Whats the dealio with the jog grips ? As we have established the Jog Wheels need to be manipulated with skin .
Dont the Jog grips make the wheel surface even smaller ?

Do you need one finger on the grip and one on the actual wheel for it to work ???
This seems a little hit and miss...

Any thoughts on the Jog Grips and how well they work guys?

Im thinking i may need to paint them with conductive paint that will give a bit more grip.

The standard wheel is to slippy. Im doing that old vinyl trick of licking my finger a bit and rubbing them to make them tacky...
