I am currently working on a project which involves me using a force sensor. So far I have tested the sensor statically. However, I need to calibrate it dynamically so that the output voltage can be used to determine a force in Newtons.
I have done a bit of research so far and it seems that it is quite difficult to dynamically calibrate. However, I had thought about building some sort of spring-loaded device like the one below:
I figured if I know the exact force being exerted on the force sensor by the strike pad, then I can determine a relationship between output voltage and force.
I am a little unsure though. It is not really an area I am familiar with. If there is anyone on here who could help then it would be much appreciated.
This is the force sensor I am using:
