Connecting my textile sensors to Flora

Post by mball1326 »

TOTAL NEWB HERE:

I built two conductive fabric pressure sensors just like the one here: https://www.instructables.com/Flexible- ... re-Sensor/
They are both working as they successfully light up LEDs.

What I can't figure out is how to then connect these with alligator clips to Flora. I tried to do something similar to this: https://www.instructables.com/Connectin ... ftLnlFQmEg, but it's intended for Lilypad. I don't know how to translate the pins to Flora or if it even would make sense to do so.

All I need to do is log data into Arduino from Flora regarding how much pressure is being expressed on my sensors (which I will then run through to a MaxMSP patch to control sound).

CAN ANYONE HELP with A) connecting my sensor to Flora and B) using code to just intake the data?

Thank you!!!

Hello, thank you, but I've already looked this over and am still at a loss. I compared pin diagrams between the two devices as well. Any chance you could respond with more specificity to my question?

Thanks
