I purchased the materials to make my own pressure sensor tape after suggestions from the forum (thank you so much) . I followed the simple directions on instructables.
With the initial setups I have made, the led is always on but dim and only gets brighter when pressed.
My question, have i made a mistake or is that how pressure sensor tape works? For my application, ideally I need the sensor to be off and only on when pressure it applied?
Also, is there anywhere online to purchase manufactured pressure tape similar to the home made versions. The only reason is i need it to be reliable and durable.
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated
