Hi everyone,
I've currently started a project where I'm going to attempt to put an array of LED lights on a drum pad so that whenever the drum pad is hit the lights will flash to a corresponding intensity depending on how hard the drum pad is hit...Kind of like a dimming light for a night light only with pressure.
The part I'm having the most trouble with is the circuit needed to detect the pressure of the hit and to put out a certain voltage. The rest of the circuit I will be able to do, its just building the sensor part of the circuit that I think will drive me crazy.
I don't want to buy a premade pressure sensor I would rather build something simple myself but I have no idea where to start... If anyone can suggest a part or a way of approaching this problem without using a microcontroller I can research it and do the rest.
Thank you all.
