    Best shock sensor for soccer/football game?

    Hi all, I am hoping to glean some experience from you guys regarding the best shock sensor to implement for a soccer/football game. I plan to have a white heavy fabric screen onto which I will project an image of a penalty kick. A people will kick a soccer ball against the screen and this will...

    [SOLVED] Sensor output high for >30secs, but I need a short pulse

    Thanks guys for all the input, some really good ideas and advice here!!! To kripacharya, I just need a pulse that is long enough to be picked up as an input by an Arduino digital input pin. I thought 30-50ms would be a nice long pulse to ensure the Arduino got it! Cheers, George

    [SOLVED] Sensor output high for >30secs, but I need a short pulse

    Hi all, I have a design that I need help and advice with. I have a sensor that is triggered when a physical action happens (a bit like a jack in the box) and the output remains high until it is reset by replacing the moving part back into its "loaded" position. However, I would like to use...

    Bit of guidance for signal conditioning request

    Do you think this sort of layout (2 stage) would be better? The first stage for the level shifting and the second stage for the amplification? Thanks, G

    Bit of guidance for signal conditioning request

    Hi all, I have a need for a circuit and thought I would post it onto this forum for some guidance. I have existing circuitry for a scale consisting of a strain gauge, wheatstone bridge and OPA333 op-amp. (I am stuck with this circuit so have to work with it). I have fed the output of this...
