how to connect flex sensor with pic16

[aina_bazilah]

hye..may i know how to connect the flex sensor 4.5 inch with the PIC16 and can anyone show me the circuit as i see many flexible sensor is connected and tested by using arduino.How to check the range of the flex sensor by using PIC16.



Thank you

Are you referring to this tutorial?

Method to interface and use Flexibend sensor, if you look carefully, the back of the tutorial show the interface with SK28A + PIC16F876A.

To connect a flex sensor to a PIC16 microcontroller, connect one end of the sensor to the analog input pin of the PIC16 and the other end to a voltage divider circuit. The voltage divider consists of the flex sensor and a fixed resistor. The varying resistance of the flex sensor alters the voltage read by the analog input, allowing the PIC16 to measure the flex.
