Assignment: Sensing PART II: Force sensors and photocells

Collaborators:

Description:

Using the handy sponge to diffuse the weight of the instrument stand, the sensor recorded different values corresponding to the various weights of the string instruments in the apartment. The values (weight) separated nicely at 18, 110, 135, and 165. When each instrument is placed on the stand, the values registered display information about the specific instrument (make, model, year, history, "mileage" :) Ideally, I'd like to have a recorded track of each instrument play as it is placed on the stand.
