Hello my name is Gary in Ft Myers, Florida and I need help. I'm trying to build a bend sensor 24" long to measure pulling weight with a small display. I have never built anything with robotics and need some assitance or direction any help would be great.
I know with all the knowledge that I have read on this forum someone out there can direct me in the right direction.
thanks, Gary

I forgot to put on my first reply I will pay anyone $200 dollars to build this. Gary

You forgot to mention how much weight, what display output you want, what accuracy you want, and why the bend/force sensors you can buy aren't effective for what you need :P
Also, why not just an old-fashioned spring loaded weight sensor? They cost like ~$15:

Does it need to output digital signals?
