Background Info: I'm playing with a piezo electric plate to test pressure. Simple hook up: positive lead from the piezo to analog input 0 negative termial to ground. Analog reading the input serial printing the output to get the image below: [image] Problem: As you can see, at a certain press…

Piezo plate sensor maxes out ADC, anyway around this?

Connect the resistor from the ADC input to ground, so in parallel with the transducer.
