Hello
First of, sorry for my bad english.
Im planing to build an electric loangboard. So before I starting, I’m resurching the different parts I need to make it work. The thing Im thinking about right now is the controll of the speed. I was thinking about using 2 pressure sensors for each foot. So when I lean forward the board goes forward and when I leen back it slowly stops. To do this I am of course using the arduino. But when I’m looking at the different pressure sensors. They only take about 25lb. Now Im about 220 punds. So what I am wondering is if im only going to get max pressure on the sensors all the time. I am also looking at a Load Sensor (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10245) I see that it can take about 50 kg and I guess that should work, but Im worrid about the size of it.
My question is what are your thought about this? What is the best sensor to get this working?
