force sensor, pic16f877a, lcd display

[areebee]

hi guys
im new here

i just want to ask ur help
actually i want to measure weight using force sensor@ flexiforce sensor for my FYP

the input from sensor will pass to the pic16f877a
then
lcd display will display the reading

can someone teach me
how to connect them?

ur effort in helping me are so meaningful..
tqvm

Flexiforce sensor is just like a variable resistor. The resistance decreases when force is applied to the sensor. Look at the "specs" tab of its product page. Explanation and recommended circuit is given. I found that their product page is very informative. You should read through all the tabs to have better understanding about the sensor.

For using LCD, look at Cytron's DIY project.

I have this sensor too, I just create a voltage divider using 10kohm, then measure the input voltage. For now I want to create a formula for this sensor to convert voltage to weight. Need maple software. Where I can download it for free?
