- To read values from an FSLP (Force-Sensing Linear Potentiometer) using an Arduino, you can follow these steps. First, connect the FSLP to your Arduino as follows:
- Connect the top pin of the FSLP (pin 1) to a 5V pin on the Arduino.
- Connect the right pin of the FSLP (pin 2) to an analog input pin (A0) on the Arduino.
- Connect the bottom pin of the FSLP (pin 3) to the ground (GND) on the Arduino.
- Connect the left pin of the FSLP (pin 4) to another analog input pin (A1) on the Arduino.
- Next, upload the following code to your Arduino:
- This code will read the X, Y, and force values from the FSLP sensor and print them to the serial monitor. Open the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE to see the output.
- Keep in mind 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 convert these raw values to more meaningful units by mapping or scaling them based on the specific FSLP model you are using.
