Troubleshooting FSR to speaker across breadboards

Projects General Guidance
1

I am very much a newbie to electronics and am struggling to adapt a circuit design that I found online for my purposes. When I create and program the circuit as suggested with the force sensing resistor attached to the breadboard it works just fine, but when I transfer the force sensing resistor to a separate breadboard and connect it suddenly the tone just plays upon connecting the wires to the secondary breadboard -- it no longer responds to the force sensing resistor. The quality of the tone also decreases and it becomes a bit choppy.

I imagine that this is related to the signal being diluted with the transfer or the resistance being changed due to the greater distance. My goal is to connect three force sensing resistors on separate breadboards that each trigger unique tones.

Any advice on this is very appreciated! :slight_smile:

Hi, welcome to the forum.

This is what you've been asked to read How to get the best out of this forum

For your project:

It would be helpful to provide a link to where you got it from online, and / or post the code and a schematic showing how everything is wired.

How far away is the separarte breadboard? A photo of how you connected between the original breadboard and the separate breadboard would probably be helpful.

More likely to be a wiring error, or noise pickup (depending on the length of the wires between the FSR and the Arduino).
