A viable option, depending on what sort of pressure is involved, is to put a thin piece of conductive (ie. antistatic) foam between two metal plates. The resistance between the plates ends up being roughly proportional to the pressure applied. It (...) (27 years ago, 9-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) What a neat idea! Sounds nice and compact and simple to build too. Do you think it would also be viable to use a soft NON-conductive foam and then measure the capacitance instead of the resistance to work accurately with lighter pressures?

Actually this will work better. I built a grid sensor using (...) (27 years ago, 11-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
