I actually used temperature sensor mode, since I wanted a passive mode
that wasn't just boolean. Would that have made a difference?

Information on the sensor we used is at:
http://www.interlinkelec.com/technology/page01.htm if you click on FSR
guide. Our sensors are "Part #402".
The resistances we got range from a little under 1K (at 5V) to 10M
(<1V), which makes sense, I guess. Looks like the problem then is in
our conversion from resistance to force. Back to the manual...
