code used to test different sensors


added a delay to slow down numbers so easier to read


experimented wetting the finger tips before touching the sensor, this increased the reading by approx.- 20% with each sensor


pressure applied to the sensor dramatically influences the reading.


 the amount of skin in contact with the sensor doesn't seem to greatly alter the reading. how am i going to solve the problem of pressure? as when one walks the pressure applied to the sole of your shoe greatly changes when you walk and pick your feet up and must vary depending on what surface you are walking on. when walking in thicken snow i presume there is less pressure compared to say. small rocks on the beach. if the sensor is attached to the foot rather that held int the shoe? a simple plaster like sticker could be designed to adhere tot he foot which is then placed int he shoe? i think i would want to research how people used it and felt about each option before i would hypothetically continue to design it and produce it.
