Pressure Sensor

Project Overview

The Pressure Sensor project demonstrates how to read analog values from a pressure sensor using an Arduino Mega. Pressure sensors are used to measure force applied per unit area, which converts into electrical signals proportional to the applied pressure.

Components Needed

• Arduino Mega
• Pressure Sensor
• Jumper Wires

Block Diagram

Circuit Setup

1. Connect the Pressure Sensor to Arduino Mega:
   • pressureSensorPin: Analog pin connected to the pressure sensor (e.g., A0).
   • VCC: Connect to 5V on Arduino Mega.
   • GND: Connect to GND on Arduino Mega.
   • Signal Out: Connect to the analog pin (pressureSensorPin).

Instructions

1. Circuit Setup:

   • Connect the pressure sensor to the Arduino Mega as described in the circuit setup section.

2. Library or Dependencies:

   • No additional libraries are required for basic analog input reading.

3. Code Upload:

   • Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
   • Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.
   • Upload the code to the Arduino Mega.

4. Testing:

   • Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE (set to 9600 baud) to monitor the pressure sensor values.
   • Observe the analog values and corresponding voltage readings that represent the pressure applied.

Applications

• Pressure Measurement: Used in various applications such as industrial automation, weather stations, and medical equipment.
• Force Sensing: Provides feedback on force or pressure exerted on surfaces or objects.

Notes

• Ensure the pressure sensor is calibrated and provides accurate readings for specific applications.
• Consider using additional components like amplifiers or conditioning circuits for precise measurement requirements.
• Adjust the code or scaling factors to accommodate different pressure sensor specifications or output ranges.
