Stylus

 

Eric:

Can you tell us what stylus you use for your tinySA, and a source for it?

Thanks,
Rick Hendricks - KE0GB
 

I'm using a plastic refill pencil WITHOUT pencil, so basically a pointy hard plastic thing. "Papermate non-stop"
Or search for a stylus for a resistive screen (not capacitive!!!), plenty on Amazon or eBay

I'm using NDSL stylus with? transparent nylon points. I do not recommend using? full colored tylus , they are cheaper but the point is hard and not very soft for the screen.
?(NDSL stand for Nintend0 DS Lite)

These are OK:

These are not ok:

On my debugging tinySA I'm using the solid stylus, no visible screen damage, even after many months of rather intensive usage.

I use a toothpick or sometimes a chopstick from my local greasy Chinese takeout. Both work just great.

I use a piece of 1/4 inch wood dowel that I sanded down to a dull point. ?I also went the extra step of using some wood stain to make it pretty, but that is a personal choice.

I use a variety of items as styluses, depending upon what's closest to me, but it's usually one of those shown below.? On the left is a stylus I bought at Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, a dollar.? Besides being a stylus, it has a pen in it, plus a red pointer LED and? white flashlight LED.? Unfortunately, they tend to come apart unless you crimp it to make it tighter, or tape them together, or whatever.

In the middle is another stylus I bought at Dollar Tree, again, one buck.? No lights, but it does have a pen in it.

On the right is a mechanical pencil, of which I use the eraser as a stylus.? I probably got it either at Dollar Tree, or possibly at Office Depot.? If I got it at Dollar Tree, it was, of course, a dollar.? If I got it at Office Depot, I probably bought a package of several of them for a few dollars.? I kind of like this one because the eraser is small enough that I'm not likely to hit several buttons at once, or hit the wrong button by mistake.

In any case, I usually buy several - or a bunch - of them at once and scatter them all over the house, so there's usually one within sight no matter where in the house I happen to be.
 

Things I have used are either end (retracted) of an ink pen, my fingernail, an orange wood stick, either end of a pencil, the tip of a key, the guitar pick stylus that came with the unit, the handle of a fingernail clipper, and a BST126 plastic pry bar with the pointy end filed to be more blunt. There may have been others but that's all that come to mind.

I have used a small rock with great success, better than my finger anyway.
