BalC Hey all - how are people fixing in their Trill sensors? We've glued our square to a piece of wood using Araldite, which works fine but noticed a dead spot on the middle right side of the sensor...
giuliomoro glueing itself shouldn't be an issue, but I would avoid any epoxy in the proximity of the chip, just in case it getting in contact with the IC's pads makes things weird. We often use double-sided tape cut to shape.

We often use double-sided tape cut to shape. just out of curiosity, are there any electrical "specialities" with epoxy? I know that some boutique guitar pedal makers cast a square around the electronics to hide the components used and I therefore assumed it would be safe... or does it just mess with the capacitive sensing?
Ward I'm using a double sided transfer tape (3M 465 12mm wide). It seems strong enough to hold the trill square, but not inseparable if you need to replace one.
giuliomoro yeah I have no idea honestly ... probably not, but it seemed something worth watching out for given the description of the issue ...
lokki the only issue i could see is a mechanical one. epoxy is quite hard and non flexible, so the trill pcb or a part of it may break easier when epoxy is applied and a certain deformation occurs while applying pressure
