  2. To read values from a Pololu Force Sensor Pad - 44x44mm using an Arduino, you can follow these steps. First, connect the sensor pad to your Arduino as follows:
  3.  
  4. Connect the black wire of the sensor pad to the ground (GND) on the Arduino.
  5. Connect the red wire of the sensor pad to the 5V pin on the Arduino.
  6. Connect the green wire of the sensor pad to an analog input pin (A0) on the Arduino.
  7. Connect the white wire of the sensor pad to another analog input pin (A1) on the Arduino.
  8. Next, upload the following code to your Arduino:
  9.  
  10. This code will read the X and Y values from the sensor pad and print them to the serial monitor. Open the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE to see the output.
  11.  
  12. Note that the output values will be in the range of 0 to 1023, as they represent the ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) readings. You can map or scale these raw values based on the specific sensor pad model you are using to convert them to more meaningful units such as force or pressure.
