ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Pressure pads are designed to detect when pressure is applied to an area, and they come in a variety of quality and accuracy. The simplest pressure pads are often the equivalent of big switches. Inside a pressure pad are two layers of foil separated by a layer of foam with holes in it. When the foam is squashed, the metal contacts touch through the foam and complete the circuit.

This tutorial serves as a quick primer on rressure pads and demonstrates how to hook them up and use them with Arduino.
