      I'm working with the Wrover, in a devkit-c format. I've been using the lolin32 lite for bluetooth MIDI for a while, but the KLIK3 needs more space for samples. The KLIK3 uses standard sf2 samples (which I couldn't do with the Teensy Audio library), and wav audio samples, so I'm thinking of making an SD compatible version to be able to load your own samples.

    have you ever heard of topre keyboards? They use a conical electrocapacitive spring with a rubber cup over them to dampen the keystroke feeling a bit. it registers keystrokes via the change in capacitance across the spring when the spring gets compressed by the user. WI think theres pretty solid potential at least for something not mass produced by someone with tinkering time. Also, magnets with a hall effect sensor could work pretty well as well, this is also used in some keyboards to extremely great effect. I guess I prolly shouldn't assume you haven't heard of these though, just figured i'd toss them out there just in case

    Very interesting and useful, this is a small sensor. I wonder if to create a DIY force sensor with a size larger than 4x6 inches, a larger resistor is needed? Tks for your video

    • @famitory
      @famitory 21 день назад

      a larger velostat represents putting more resistance between the copper sheets in paralell (lowering the total), so you would want a lower value to keep the voltage divider at a reasonable ratio. however you might run into issues where too much current is traveling through the sensor, heating it up. you can solve this by adding more sheets of velostat to raise the resistance back up or by using some op amps to build an active measuring circuit that both keeps the current running through the sensor low and amplifies the signal for better noise charecteristics. there's an article on nuts n volts magazine for making a ribbon controller using a softpot whose circuit would also work for the FSR.
