Hi,
Here is a nice 2 minute video that explains why screens are capacitive and what how to make everyday objects into capacitive stylus. Basically you need to conduct electricity from your finger to the tip. Covering it in tin foil is one option if the stylus is purely plastic and has no metal. See other options if the stylus is composed of some metal. http://makezine.com/projects/diy-capacitive-stylus/.

Folks,
If I have a Sammons Preston Tying Aid, what can I put on the bottom of the device to make it accessible for the iPad? The plastic point will not activate the iPad. What can
I replace it with?
Thanks for any suggestions.
