I need help modifying the following schematic to accommodate essentially the arduino power and nothing else. I tried switching the flexiforce pin from the inverting pin to the non-inverting pin of the op amp then powering it with +5v, but that did not work. I don't know the first thing about designing circuitry, so any help is greatly appreciated. I have done tons of googling with no luck.
If I have to use circuit, how I can get a -5 volt supply out of the 5v supplied on the arduino?
Thanks to anyone who can help me, I have been trying to solve this on my own for a couple days.
That is actually how I had it set up initially for testing when I was using a less sensitive force sensor. I am now using the 100 pound sensor I plan to use with my project. This one is just so insensitive though, I figured I would set it up the way the schematic told me to. I am using a 10k trimpot shown below for my project. Maybe I need a larger trimpot (100k) to get the results I need? I could probably whack it with a hammer and have it barely light up the reference LED. I need it more sensitive than that lol.
