Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed around an Arduino Micro (Rev3) microcontroller and includes a variety of sensors and power components. The sensors in the circuit are Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs) and Basic Flex Resistors, which are likely used for detecting pressure or flexing. A Lipo Battery provides power to the circuit, and a rocker switch is used to control the power flow. The Arduino Micro is responsible for processing the sensor data and controlling the circuit's behavior.

Component List

Microcontroller

• Arduino Micro (Rev3): A microcontroller board based on the ATmega32U4. It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 7 can be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a micro USB connection, an ICSP header, and a reset button.

Sensors

• Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs): Sensors that change their resistance when pressure is applied. They are typically used to detect physical pressure, squeezing, and weight.
• Basic Flex Resistors: Variable resistors that change resistance when bent. They are used to detect bending or flexing.

Power Components

• Lipo Battery: A rechargeable battery that provides power to the circuit.
• Rocker Switch: A switch that allows the user to control the power to the circuit.

Wiring Details

Arduino Micro (Rev3)

• Digital pins D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, and D12 are each connected to the pin 1 of different FSRs.
• Analog pins A0, A1, A2, A3, and A4 are connected to pin 2 of different Basic Flex Resistors.
• The GND pin is connected to the ground network, which includes the GND pin of the Lipo Battery and pin 0 of all FSRs and Basic Flex Resistors.
• The 5V pin is connected to one side of the rocker switch.

Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs)

• Pin 1 of each FSR is connected to a unique digital pin on the Arduino Micro.
• Pin 0 of all FSRs is connected to the ground network.

Basic Flex Resistors

• Pin 2 of each Basic Flex Resistor is connected to a unique analog pin on the Arduino Micro.
• Pin 1 of all Basic Flex Resistors is connected to the ground network.

Lipo Battery

• The VCC pin is connected to the other side of the rocker switch.
• The GND pin is part of the ground network.

Rocker Switch

• One pin is connected to the 5V pin of the Arduino Micro.
• The other pin is connected to the VCC pin of the Lipo Battery.
