Hi. Thanks for your explanations.
I saw some FSR assys which contains a capacitor and a resistor in parallel to the FSR.

[sarahwasifaferdousi]

how to connect multiple of these fsr sensors tho?

[FATMANURSİPAHİ-kv]

Could you please share the library of the sensor?

where to find the packaging for these sensors, like rubber buttons or silicone buttons

[satrah]

Will it work on a punching bag set up or is that specialised sensor needed. Thanks in advance.

Hey! Here is a long stretch question for me as total noob - Is it possible to use arduino for sending Midi signal with velocity value related to pressure instead of lights?

[jomfawad]

Can we control servo based on if signal> treshhold move servo to 180? or it needs to be mapped from 0-1023 and move proportionally? and please whats the lowest in grams can this sensor measure? Thank you

[jomfawad]

Will this same setup and code work on teensy 4.1?

[CallumDoerner]

What could I be doing wrong where my numbers start high and go down as force is applied?

[EsraAbay]

What is the nominal resistance of type 402? Which is written |||IFSR_||||18||

[OrlaKennedy-fs]

why do you initialize serial communication?
