playing with stretch resistors
Today we’re building a simple voltage divider where the output is read using an analog input on an Arduino Nano. I’m following a similar project that uses a thermistor instead of conductive cord. We use the equation Vo = R / (R + 10K) * Vcc to measure the expected voltage output at various resistances.…
