    Pressure Sensing

    Hi all, I need to measure the pressure applied by someone's foot to a plate - what is the best sensor to acheive this? Is it true that piezo sounders can be used as transducers, if it is, would they be suitable for this application? (more detail! The sensor is measuring the amount of force...

    Triggering an external switch

    OK, be patient with me here as I'm sure there is a simple explanation! I have a seperate pre-made circuit (a toy voice recorder module) which is triggered by a push to make switch. I want to activate this circuit via infrared. So far I have created the IR input stage using an 08M, the circuit...

All inputs/outputs work when I load a program to the...
