generate-pressuremap

Demonstrates use of Arduino with capacitive sensors and plotting a 3D surface. Requires Arduino hardware support for MATLAB.

You are now following this Submission

Analog data acquisition of capacitive force sensors. Sensors measure 45N of force across circle of 15 mm diameter. Voltage output corresponds linearly with force, and full-scale range is 1V, hence the equation:
pressure=45*(voltage-zero)/(pi*0.00005625)
Surface plotted is a generic stretched half-sphere but X, Y and Z dimensions can be assigned to variables.
