Hello
I need help in designing a piezo based devise which is portable and can be mounted on a bicycle paddle so that when pushed against by the user foot, can read up to 1000N.
So I was reading about sensor stiffness and the like but comments from someone with previous experience would be much appreciated.
I am thinking that it needs to be wide so as to collect the user push force from whole foot push area (considering a shoe without full flat sole).
Once I get the voltage reading, I can write a code to convert to force in N. How about the actual body where the sensor will be? I am a bit overwhelmed and thankful for any pointers or suggestions.
