    I remember, about 35 years ago working on an autopilot for my Dads boat, using a simple 2 transistor switching circuit, it was too sensitive and responded to touch, cured it with proper biasing resistor. BTW I was not grounded. You could put a groundplane and sense wire together coaxially or using spiral technique.

    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
