Side quest: ribbon controller!

 I have thought for some time that I should drop the ribbon controller, but a few posts on FB sparked a new interest and I may now go for a DIY solution here too.

Some posts:

Mouser have them, search for Spectra Symbol's soft pots and look under Force Sensors and Load Cells for FSR02CE


Tip: "Use a connector! Use a connector! Use a connector! Don't try to solder directly to the device. Ask me how I know..."


Problem: SoftPots are 400, 500 or 750mm, that's a bad match for a 600mm FSR
