Description
I used Arduino with force sensor. I edited the sample process sketch code to turn on the circle into squares with changing color and changing the corners with round angles via force sensor interaction. With different value detected by the force sensor, the color and the size of the square will change as well as the degree of angles of its corners. Lastly, I uploaded the code and took pictures of the result.
Components
- 1 Arduino
- 3 LED
- 3 Resistor (220Ω)
- 1 Breadboard
- One force sensor
