+ | |||
+ | After plenty of reading and experimenting I came up with the following LM358 based circuit that I am satisfied with. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Pinout ==== | ||
+ | This pin diagram is for the version of the sensor that I ordered. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:soft-robotics:sensors:mps-pinout.png?400|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Circuit ==== | ||
+ | The circuits I have seen online use two connections to the LM358, first as a differential amplifier and then as a normal amplifier. | ||
+ | I believe that I can manage with just differential amplification, because it provides both amplification to the signal and eliminating the 2.5v offset of the output. | ||

+ | * I also added 100Uf capacitors because seems like that was recommended. | ||
