Where can I get that “ribbon controller”. What is the part number?

The readings can be calibrated to known pressures or forces, effectively turning any elastic material into a “pressure sensor”.

pretty nice use of one of these i must say: converting your force into resonance, or “scumminess”

this reminds me of the parts posts. what happened to those? *hint*hint*
