Making a DIY analog force sensor under quarantine, with the Kontrol Freak.

In this "Kontrol Freak" tutorial video, you can follow along in my efforts to make a high resolution laminated analog pressure sensor similar to an FSR, using velostat material and a Teensy LC. The whole process is unscripted, informal and pretty relaxed. I talk about voltage dividers and how to improve resolution on these sensors. I make mistakes, then recover, experiment and investigate, and the end result is a pretty decent sensor (although it does drift a lot...) This kicks off Kontrol Freak series III "Kuarantine Kontrollers". I have many other Kontrol Freak videos here on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCejzxWlLD_wG1Es_2vJUi7V_FYcZEnFM See you in the Kontinuum!
