I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it anywhere, but one of my price targets for Tetrinsic was £20/ea.

While making this BOM, I determined that it was best to continue the strategy I had for the 11P cable to Tetent by making sure that I can't accidentally solder the LED strip backwards. At the same time, there isn't a 2P FPC. Instead of 2 separate cables, I'm going to use a single 7P cable. This saves both money and simplifies manufacturing. The pinout is below:

1. 5V
2. LED
3. GND
4. Force
5. GND
6. LED
7. 5V

Then it's conveniently broken out with this through-hole connector:

At this price, I'm further considering the potential for water resistance. The current limitations at the moment are:

• IP20-rated LED strip
• MR62ZZ bearings might be prone to rusting

In other news, this is how close to the wire everything is fitting:

In other news, I've cobbled together a low-resolution render to finally replace the outdated one:
