Revision of Force-Sensing Trivet from Wed, 09/26/2007 - 21:55

Description

For this homework, I created a force-sensing trivet that can tell if something is on top of it. As the Trivet sends out a value over the serial port, the trivet can be used to run a lame processing-based application that is suspicously similar to the example code given, but has minor elements of originality that (slightly) differentiate it.

Hardware used

  • Arduino Board and breadboard configured for in-class FSR Lab
  • 1 Force Sensor
  • 2 Alligator Clips
  • 3 Wooden Dowel Hole Covers
  • 1 4"x6" sheet of glass
  • 1 Trivet
