Force Sensing Resisistors
Flexforce at Parallax.com pricey?
Interlinkelectronics.com force sensing resistors page
Interlinkelectronic's guide on force sensing resistors
Trossenrobotics.com page for the 1.5" interlink force sensing resistor
Trossenrobotics.com search page for FSR
Imageco.com page on FSRs
Opamp circuit for use with FSRs, outputs 0-5v based on force (Imageco.com)
Flex Sensor Resistor on imageco.com, was going to order 2 but least expensive shipping is $12.95
Flex Sensor Resistor on jameco.com, same price as on imageco.com but shipping might be less, never know because you won't find out until they ship and bill you. Sometimes it is good sometimes annoyingly high.
