rubbery ruler & 555 sites
I came across a couple of internet sites that could be of
interest here - to interface stuff with Basic Stamp.
The rubbery ruler design is of a variable capacitor made of
spring conductors - they claim .1% accuracy over 250% stretch.
Could be part of a position or force transducer.
"Rubbery Ruler Capacitor (Brochure)"
http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/researchgroups/rubberyruler/brochure.html
For 555 aficionados.... and lots of basic electronics on root pages...
"555 Timer?"
http://www3.ncsu.edu/ECE480/480_555.htm
Or combine a rubbery ruler with a 555 and get a timed output
pulse which responds to position or force...
Have fun...
