hi...i'm trying to build a FloorSensor which is able to determine the force of a person exerted on it (but is not like a weighting machine). This FloorSensor will actually determine the action of the person (example: walking, running, jumping, etc) on the mat (FloorSensor) by analysing the the different forces acting on the floor platform...the problem is, i do not know wat kind of sensor to used.
I found one type of force sensor(piezoelectric sensor) but the max force that it can withstand is only about 10kg but i need a sensor that can withstand about 200kg(or can withstand the force of an adult jumping and landing on the platform). The platform size will be around 1x1m, therefore i need quite alot of these sensors.....so it got to be cheap. (i actually found one of these sensor already in a mat form on one website but it is very expensive, so i try to build one low cost sensor platform myself)
Do anyone has any idea wat kind of sensor i can used which is not expensive? can anyone pls give me the the details of the sensor (ex. model, price, max load, etc)
just a reminder....it is not a weighting machine. sensors needed are more like tectile sensors but with the ability to determine forces acting on it (ex. piezoelectric sensors).
Thanks in advance!!!!!
