Hi there! I'm not sure of all the right terms related to what I'm looking for, please excuse me. I'm trying to measure the strain, tension, or compression between two points. It could even be the distance. The idea is to determine how much the spring of a shock in an RC car is compressed. For exam…

Strain Gauge, Distance Sensor, or something else?

Acceleration doesn't give any static information, only dynamic.
