I've got a number of mini pushbuttons and some lever type micro switches laying around, are these the best option, or how about using a magnetic (reed) type switch - I see benefits to this type as there needs to be no physical contact to activate it (if a bit of swarf accidentally gets between a 'mechanical' type switch it could possibly give in inaccurate reading), or are these, by their nature, inaccurate as far as 'switching' at the same point every time? How are the mechanical switches for repeatability? Thanks. Colin
