Thanks David, Laurie et al for your replies. It sounds like the pseudo-poly-AT idea might have some merit, so I will probably pick up one of the resistive sensors and have a play with it (for those interested, they are made by Spectrastrip and available from Mouser in the US and - less comprehensively and more expensively - Farnell here in the UK).
